@xtaldave and I are watching #DirtyBusiness on Channel 4. It’s every bit as horrifying and excellent as expected.

But at one point, Jason Watkins drops a casual remark about the fact that the Royal Mail has the ability to prosecuted people. Then he looks directly at the camera, drawing a direct line between two scandals.

#Channel4 #DirtyBusiness @[email protected] Water companies industrially polluting our environment and putting human health at risk backed by a weak compromised #EnvironmentAgency Water Industry must be rigorously regulated NOW. Nationalisation cld be the only effective remedy.

Dirty Business exposed the human cost of profit before public health. Our water system won’t be fixed with tinkering. It needs public ownership. I’ve asked my MP to attend the MP drop-in on 17th March & hear that message directly from sewage campaigners, please do likewise: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-your-mp-to-meet-with-dirty-business-activists 📝 #UKPol #UKPolitics #Petition #DirtyBusiness #Sewage #WaterPollution

Well so much for an early night, I've just watched all of 'dirty business', a three part docu-drama about the terrible state of the UK water industry and the pathetic state of its Government regulator.
Thatcher, Cameron & Truss, who'd think they'd be the bad guys?
I feel conflicted about some of it. If those sewage plants were as terribly maintained as shown then while its obviously bad that the water company is not maintaining things properly its also terrible that the inspectors are not inspecting. Whether the water company or the inspectors are private or publicly owned that fact doesn't change. Who poiices the police? Smarmy Eton turds who've escaped untreated but polished, that's who....

I wonder if there’s a ”law and drama” specialism. If so, congrats to Channel4 for smashing it #dirtybusiness
Happy to see Assembly Member Polanski pushing deputy mayor on re-nationalisation #ThamesWater #dirtybusiness #GreaterLondonAssembly

Oh dear god… only watch #DirtyBusiness on Channel Four if you’ve got low enough blood pressure and can handle the sight of children being killed for shareholders’ profits.
Watching Channel 4s #DirtyBusiness about the absolutely shit state of our water industry, and whilst rage-researching one of the most egregious offenders, Sir James Bevan, I spotted a petition calling for removal of his knighthood, so if you've watched this (or if you haven't but you're already sick of the state of our water industry) why not sign it? https://www.change.org/p/remove-sir-james-bevan-s-knighthood #waterindustryregulation #SewageScandal

Boo #thamesWater and others. Just watched ep1 of #dirtyBusiness about the disgusting way in which bankers have been making billions from buying & selling our #water companies while running them into the ground and pumping raw sewage into our rivers/beaches leading to deaths and disease.

I'm furious. We need to nationalise water now, and invest in the health of our people. Privatisation is literally killing us.
