Thames Water has broken Oxfordshire's sewerage infrastructure while sucking out the money for shareholders and overpaid executives. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2493949...

Killed by greed. Don't worry, no bonuses were affected in the making of this clip.

So did Gov and Ofwat want to avoid being cross-examined by barristers in the Thames Water bailout case? It's not so easy to bluff and be economical with the facts through a proper court hearing. www.windrushwasp.org/single-post/...

Watch a massively expensive bail-out being dropped on captive customers or fight against it - in the High Court? Follow the windrushwasp blog @jennyjones.bsky.social @cleanilkley.bsky.social @savewindermere.bsky.social

Sewage effluent generally flows 24/7 but when some of the 12 TIMES A YEAR testers showed up there was nothing to test! Anglian Water claims that happened on average 600 times a year since 2015. As the regulators looked the other way.. @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Anglian Water passed thousands of pollution tests at sewage plants that weren’t carried out

For those who don't yet follow @windrushwasp.bsky.social, these guys are the most forensic champions of British rivers. They cut through the bs to the truth behind the privatised water industry racket and the government's complicity.

Here is Witney untreated sewage overflow @thameswater.bsky.social pouring out far from harmless 'storm' sewage at 9.77ppm ammonia sometimes legally, too often, not. The penalty and deterrent? None. @jennyjones.bsky.social @savewindermere.bsky.social

'Let's hope that the fact that on the run-up to the election, the Labour Party took a £4 MILLION donation from a hedge fund similar to those now being allowed to prey on Thames Water's distress won't influence its decisions.' www.windrushwasp.org/single-post/...

How water companies use our river as moneymakers

Not from the untreated outfall, this was the actual brook including dilution from the treated effluent and the stream - so much for storm sewage being relatively harmless contaminated rainwater. Witney, Oxfordshire. @soswhitstable.bsky.social

Young pike, perilous position. Downstream of an untreated sewage outfall that is likely to discharge soon. Hoping he or she survives undamaged.

Windrush cygnet needing help. Now you know what an Ikea bag was designed for..

One of the inspirations behind the Save Windermere campaign. This is just one of the iconic animals we’re striving to protect by demanding an end to sewage pollution in Windermere. Sign up to help ⬇️ www.savewindermere.com One of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken. Copyright: Save Windermere

England’s #NationalParks are desperate. But instead of another bailout, let’s renew the social contract between National Parks and the nation. With a simple ‘nature first’ commitment, proper public representation and a long-term funding deal. www.cnp.org.uk/blog/put-nat...

I’m now hitting @bsky.app each morning before all others and spending a lot more time here. We’ve had other social media platforms come along over the past couple of years but nothing I’ve seen is changing habits as quickly as this one. In just 7 days it’s become my go to first platform for news

Christmas sewage lights going on early

One of the first to dump untreated sewage afetr a bit of rain and snow - Oxford. Operating illegally since 2017 , Ofwat funded the upgrade in 2019 and Thames Water held on to the money instead. Worst bit - South Oxfordshire District Council has approved more houses to be added to it.

Week 55 of the Strike Against Sewage The Strike Against Sewage is a weekly protest we hold outside United Utilities' 'Information Centre' in Windermere. The protest takes place every Monday from 9 to 10 am, and we welcome anyone to join us. The strike has three main goals ⬇️🧵

Thames Water should have been taken back into public ownership 10 years ago to stop this entirely predictable scam. Now it's very urgent, unless anyone thinks that handing blatant rogue traders another pile of money is a good plan? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

And the answer from greatwatercon.uk was...

Well, that's interesting. greatwatercon.uk

The vampire kangaroo strikes again, Southern Water joins Thames in ‘junk’ status www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When the magazine of the capital markets starts calling for Thames Water to be renationalised, you know things are bad. It’s time for government to step in, protect bill payers and end the farce. Special administration and public ownership now. bit.ly/3YSZM17

And the areas we imagine should be protected are at risk www.channel4.com/news/calls-f...

this isn’t a new photo - I took it a few years ago - but wanted to share it regardless

Attracted by warmth and an unhealthy but easy food source - sound familiar? These fish are in imminent danger from untreated sewage pollution. Please cross your fingers for them.

This looks interesting www.peoplevsprofiteers.org

The Thames Water 'rescue' .."deal comes with an annual 9.75 per cent interest rate as well as steep fees, which will substantially raise the effective return for bondholders." Seriously? Financial vultures circling captive billpayers tied up by their own government. www.ft.com/content/b3f0...

Once again @savewindermere.bsky.social and @windrushwasp.bsky.social doing the regulators job for them. Shown the enormous extent of illegal sewage pumped into the National Park’s iconic lake. And the Gov’s proposed Water Bill is still doing ZERO to save Windermere.

On @lbc.co.uk this morning talking United Utilities refusal to provide information and illegal sewage dumping in Windermere. Join our fight against them on the link below ⬇️ www.savewindermere.com
