How wonderful.England’s rivers wont meet standards for good chemical health until 2063 they will contain toxic substances for decades. To think in September 2000 overall health of rivers was at 92% yet in 2022 they are at 14%. It is an absolute disgrace.

@BeneathBritishWaters the negative legacy of this Gov keeps growing …
@JennyJones13 now through my underwater in rivers and documenting the pollution it is appalling. I've witnessed it many times and they are definitely not improving. If the green party ever require any underwater footage of pollution etc for campaigns drop me an email [email protected]
@JonWorcesterMan appalling isn't it.

@BeneathBritishWaters it is indeed, let’s hope when the time comes enough people Register to Vote & Vote to wipe them out Electorally.

UK government causing criminal damage
@BeneathBritishWaters
I have written to my MP (a Tory) expressing my concern over this - as part of an ongoing dialogue on the subject.
Clearly the Tories have caused and sought to justify criminal levels of damage to the environment - they should acknowledge this and apologise to the nation.
@guyholmes They won't though Michael Gove has been on the radio today stating Uk has got cleaner water now due to Brexit, can you believe it
@BeneathBritishWaters
Surely that is demonstrably untrue!
@guyholmes Why the government won't really get on board they just bury their heads.
@BeneathBritishWaters is some of this the result of changing definitions of good health? Or is it all the result of degraded environmental protections? (I can’t access the article, so thanks for answering the question.)
@annejefferson alot of is to do with environmental protections, some degraded but legislation is there in place but sadly just not adhered to.
@BeneathBritishWaters so disheartening. It’s been really sobering to learn about all of the sewage going into British rivers and coastal areas
@annejefferson we are in a mess to be fair, just the tip of the iceberg or maybe sh1tberg.
@BeneathBritishWaters generations of effort by many has been thrown away during this Tory stewardship.
@BeneathBritishWaters Tragic and - what's worse / completely foreseeable 😳
@BeneathBritishWaters looking at what is happening in England from Germany it is just unbelievable...how stupid are they, to think that money is all there is. I wish you all the luck with fighting this.
@annekekassteele thankyou Anne, really appreciate you're reply. Sadly in alot of cases profit is put before the environment..with our freshwater world though if that collapses we will loose so much more.
@BeneathBritishWaters they have children too....I keep shaking my head in disbelief...
@annekekassteele you and me both. From my filming underwaterin rivers I have witnessed first hand the demise of these precious habitats
@BeneathBritishWaters this is part of the @centralbylines list of David Davis “no-downside to Brexit “ they are the destroyers #environment #waterpollution #torydestroyers #rivers #pollution
@BeneathBritishWaters It’s what happens when an essential public asset and service is privatised and deregulated.
