Britain used to have the most polluted beaches in the EU, because UK sewage is led via channels directly into the sea.

Fortunately, UK politicians have now solved the problem… by leaving the EU, so the country does now show up in environmental statistics.

But the problem is now even worse in the UK.

We get a lot of “it’s too complicated to solve… to expensive” and I want to slap them silly!

Polluted rivers and beaches cost us more!

@taatm I wonder if the UK could have a green revolution like Denmark experienced with the party called The Alternative. They had a landslide election in 2015 and got 9 seats in parliament, because other parties have been asleep for decades. Now every party wants to be the green party, which is a good thing.

@randahl @taatm First past the post voting makes it extraordinarily difficult for candidates outside of the main parties to be elected.
