Yes United Utilities paid £452,00,000 in dividends to shareholders in 2023 and yet they are still trying to fill lake Windermere with sewage.

As always brilliantly done by Susanna Reid 👏👏👏

That’s a wrap!

Week 24 of the strike against sewage has come to an end. That’s now officially two days of my life spent outside of this monstrous waste of money.

It’s been a while since I’ve gone 24 hours without sleep, and I don’t want to do it again anytime soon!

The governments and corporations that are planning more oil and gas projects are extremists, putting millions of lives at risk.

In Scotland, BrewDog aimed to create a 'Lost Forest' on land they bought by planting 100,000s of trees, despite lots of natural regeneration.

Why? Because they got £690k in grants. The result? Most of the planted trees died.

It's a racket, pure + simple

'Water giant accused of ‘covering up’ release of wet-wipe sewage into river.'

Did I mention that Scottish Water is now being run by a former @anglianwater executive. 🤔

Pretty self explanatory.

2 hours in to the 24 hour, 24th week of the strike against sewage.

If you look carefully, you’ll find ONE location across the vast southern Great Barrier Reef that is coloured blue

It’s the only tiny spot where heat exposure didn’t exceed the 4 Degree Heating Weeks threshold that triggers coral bleaching.

We’ve never seen bleaching like this.

HMRC admits to not collecting £35bn/£36bn of taxes a year - over £500bn since 2010.

Others estimate it to be around £90bn a year - over £1,200bn since 2010.

Corporations and the rich let off, the rest squeezed. Govt content.

Must fund and reform HMRC.
