Just stick it in the ocean
Swimmers have been warned to stay away after sewage was discharged on beaches across England and Wales, predominantly in the south.
Pollution alerts have been issued to beachgoers by the Environment Agency, and on some beaches signs have been put up to warn people.
The environmental campaign group Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) has collected data that suggests storm sewage discharges have taken place in the waters of beaches in Cornwall, Cumbria, Devon, Essex, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Northumberland and Sussex.
Oh is that all.
Hugo Tagholm, head of Surfers Against Sewage, said: “Every year we track thousands of sewage spills at some of England and Wales’s best loved beaches. Water companies are routinely using our rivers and beaches as a sewage dumping ground, compromising the health of the environment and people alike.”
Oh well it’s only…er…shit.
That, my dear friends, is a benefit of Brexit – no more bowing down to pesky laws and regulations about the proper disposal of toxic waste, preserving the environment, etc. Just let Capitalism rip, make us much moolah as it can, and damn the consequences. The next lot of Capitalists will think up ways to profit from cleaning up this lot’s messes.
