A new public fountain has appeared in central London, but look closer & you’ll see that it’s a actually a fountain of filth. The water is black, the human victims of the sewage crisis are vomitting streams of liquid, whilst surmounted by a smug water executive with a briefcase stuffed with cash. The fountain commemorates one of the biggest environmental crimes in British history, where water companies stole tens of billions of pounds that was supposed to be spent on our sewage system, gave it to shareholders and executives and illegally poured billions of lites of sewage into our rivers, lakes and seas instead. The channel 4 docudrama about the sewage crisis, #dirtybusiness, starts at 9pm tonight. Watch it, get sad, get angry and then join the thousands of people around the country demanding an end to the sewage crisis.

I see Dirty Business is trending in the UK right now. Quite rightly to. Tonight Channel 4, 9:00pm. youtube.com/watch?v=MEz6sY…

The effect of screens on the youth is most obvious in young sketch performers who can’t muster the appropriate facial expressions for the emotions they’re trying to convey.

@Royal_Greenwich The link doesn’t work.

🚨 Illegal vapes & hundreds of dangerous toys & chargers were seized from a secret room in Woolwich based business Cell Fone City after a joint operation by the council & police. A large number of mobile phones & electronic devices were also found & seizedroyalgreenwich.gov.uk/dangerous-toys…

Real red flag that my date didn’t ask me any questions. Would love to have run her through my top 5 gaming monitors.

@SlashLP89 your nervous system will thank you. It’s too late for me.

I have deleted Silksong *biggest exhale ever*

@castleb0y Brit here. Grew up calling sun lotion ‘sun tan cream’ and I see no reason to change

most american reactions to britishism are overplayed but saying "washing-up liquid" instead of dish soap is truly insane

@Royal_Greenwich what can be done about speeding vehicles on my road in Plumstead? Last night I was nearly hit crossing the small road from the common to my house. Then at 10.30pm two motorbikes started racing each other round and round well into the night. Happens all the time.

@OfTimbercroft @Royal_Greenwich 100% agree. I’ll certainly be pinging off more feedback and encouraging neighbours to do the same

@EdtheBirch @Royal_Greenwich Thanks Ed that is helpful. I get the CPZ was deeply unpopular, but there were aspects which would improve the area if properly implemented. Shouldn't be all or nothing.

@OfTimbercroft @Royal_Greenwich I was at the town hall meeting tonight. They said they do still want to do the other stuff. Also they’re more likely to do it if a big enough amount of people say they want it through the feedback.

@Royal_Greenwich Does this mean we also lose the tree planting, ev bays, cycle hangars, crossing improvements etc?

My AirBnB is checkout at 10am and check in at 4pm because it takes me six hours to change a sheet and make sure YOU’VE put the bins out.

Crap laminate? Check. An 'almost double' IKEA bed from 2008? Check. The belief that it costs £40 to clean a single room? Check! It's time to open my AirBnB!

a boiled egg on public transport? Clear and obvious crime… But an egg & cress sandwich…? Not so clear cut. The man next to me on the Central Line revels in the ambiguity.

Vote for me as mayor and I will continue to make sure hummus is sold as a novelty 1970’s party dip.

you can gentrify all of London but you will NEVER get our supermarkets to sell hummus in a proper 2kg tub.
