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.

@randahl and the UK will nonetheless continue to foul the beaches of the EU, as sadly Brexit did not remove the UK from Europe's continental shelf.
