If you can go to jail for fly tipping, why shouldn't prison be an option for a far greater and more permanent assault on the environment?
Water companies pollute because they operate without fear. Instill that fear and watch them change.

Feargal Sharkey, "Water companies... The fines don't work, it's time we actually started upholding the law, and sending some of these executives and directors to jail" Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "You think we should put them in jail?" Feargal Sharkey, "If we put one water company boss in jail for six weeks the whole industry would transform itself"

"When buying new plants, look for varieties that need less watering"
And what is @thameswater's contribution to water conservation? Losing 592 million litres of water per day through leaking pipes.
The institutional hypocrisy of this industry knows no limits.
Thames Water 💧@thameswater
Small choices can make all the difference this May Bank Holiday 🌼 When buying new plants, look out for varieties that need less watering - they’ll cope better in dry spells and help conserve water use long‑term. Adding a layer of mulch on top of your plant beds also helps lock moisture into the soil, keeping roots hydrated for longer. When it’s time to water, opt for a watering can instead of a hose. Thoughtful gardening helps protect water supplies for everyone - while still keeping your garden happy and healthy. 💧Discover more water saving tips at thameswater.co.uk/watersaving

"South East Water chairman resigns after scathing report"
There's little to disagree with in this report, @sewateruk are a disgrace.
But where is the consistency from MPs when it comes to @thameswater? Why are they being allowed to get away with it?

"Oxford MP refuses to push for Thames Water administration"
Very disappointing from @AnnelieseDodds, Labour continues to let @thameswater operate without fear of any consequences whatsoever.

Massive congratulations to @WindrushWasp for this important milestone 👏
Let's not stop there though, 100k isn't enough.
When this is debated we need to apply seismic pressure to all MPs.
They need to know that if they block this, they are going to be voted out.
We Own It@We_OwnIt
🔥🔥BOOM🔥🔥 This is the moment 100,000 people added their voice to the demand for a referendum on who owns our water. The government now has to consider it for a parliamentary debate. Please sign and share the petition. Make it impossible for them to refuse a debate: vist.ly/42eq6

97k, almost there and will surely push through today.
And when this gets debated in parliament we ALL need to write to our MPs demanding that they support this.
They are elected to represent us over themselves or their parties.

You may think your signature won't make a difference to the petition on public water ownership. But if everyone thought that, it wouldn't have reached 90k+ signatures. Every signature helps, every share helps even more. Please ✍️ & 🔄 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7626…

Public ownership of water is a unifying issue. Virtually everyone agrees.
Which makes it astonishing that the @UKLabour government won't consider this very easy win.
Why is that? How far do water companies have their hooks in?

Four protests. Five years. Not enough progress.
We'll keep coming back year after year until either things improve or people stop showing up 🪧💩

"@SouthernWater has admitted further sewage pollution discharges in Kent, some of which took place weeks after it was handed a record £90m penalty for illegal dumping."
The biggest news story here is that anybody is surprised.

Yorkshire Water is to pay out £2.35 Million after a series of pollution incidents.
Our water system is a total scandal.
Private firms have turned our rivers into open sewers, while hiking costs and handing billions to shareholders.
Bring water back into public ownership!

@JamesMelville He is inspiring. Is there any way you'd consider sharing that petition calling for a water referendum @JamesMelville? It was created by @WindrushWasp who are equally brilliant and we really need to get it as high as possible.

Feargal Sharkey is a great campaigner. No one has done more to raise awareness about the state of the water industry in the UK. We need more public figures like him to stand up for particular causes.
