You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them. On 6 August 2024, Ofwat fined them £47m and £17m for sewage dumping. Fines not paid, will not be paid. Firms claim to have invested. No penalty for abusing laws leftfootforward.org/2026/01/public…

This must be the maddest car any mainstream brand has ever made!

It is the only twin-combustion-engined car sold openly to the public – meet the Citroën 2CV Sahara 4x4: buff.ly/wPuKQwW

🚨 WATCH: A paraglider gets hit by a Cessna 172 near the Austrian town of Zell am See.
The paraglider was able to pull her rescue parachute and land safely shortly after the incident on Saturday.
According to police, the 44-year-old Austrian had started from Schmittenhöhe in the direction of Piesendorf. Above the Pinzgauer Hütte, she collided at 1:15 p.m. with the Cessna piloted by a 28-year-old.
The pilot of the Cessna, which flew from the Glemm Valley in the direction of Zell am See, was able to land the aircraft safely at Zell am See Airport.

@RAeSTimR Given @Heidi_Labour recent letter to the @UK_CAA there doesn’t appear to be any Government appetite to encourage public interest in aviation. BVLOS for @Deliveroo, eVTOL solving a problem that doesn’t exist & another decade of @HeathrowAirport navel gazing…. Exasperating!

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the de Havilland Chipmunk's #firstflight, which was developed to replace the RAF's venerable Tiger Moth.
There are 116 Chipmunks registered in the United States, but only about 60 of them are currently flying. Will you be the next one to find a Chipmunk? 👀 🐿️ ✈️

Happy 80th Birthday to an aviation icon—the DHC-1 Chipmunk! ✈️🎂
First flying on May 22, 1946, this legendary trainer taught generations of pilots how to fly. Eighty years later, the "Chippy" is still a beloved warbird favorite. Clear prop! 🇨🇦🇬🇧

@Kevin_Maguire @richardpbacon Oh FFS, the Queen was in her 70s, and had a misplaced faith in her son, this makes her human, nothing worse than that. It is beneath you both to seek to smear her reputation in this way and won’t gain you any fans or readers.
