@Channel4News Sustained coverage by @alextomo and chums. A disgraceful situation

@WaterWaysProtct @lindseyhilsum @kemenzerem @KirstyWark @KlassMyleene @krishgm @laura_woodsy @Lauratobin1 @LauraTrevelyan @LeahBoleto @lewis_goodall @Channel4News Eh? We’ve never so much as spoken about it . Quite happy to put all views out. Email me if you are upset about it alex.thomson@itn.co.uk

Thanks Lindsey, but @alextomo and @Channel4News REFUSE to platform campaigners who are making a clear call for nationalisation. They have taken the view to platform soft-ask NGOs calling for Special Administration (SAR) and are COMPLETELY ignoring the public's cry for full, clean nationalisation and state ownership of Thames Water. It's the same story with campaigners who ask for an end to all sewage pollution. They are only platforming NGOs who ask for a small reduction of sewage into bathing waters instead. Yes, they have been able to generate some rage, but they do NOTHING to promote structures that would actually solve this. Thank you.

What should happen to Thames Water? Vote and share. #ThamesWater Please RT 💙💚💙 Remember: the fish can’t speak, but we can. Don’t hand their future back to those who polluted it.
