One for #FOI and #EIR people

I've just watched Channel 4's Dirty Business. Wow. Hit me like a brick. Environmental Information Regulations = critical!

Can you help with 🧵last post where to formulate EIR request for one specific South West Water site?

Personally, I think Ash's petition is premature, given that Alan's petition still has legs.

They should be using the first petition to get a debate, and then launch a referendum petition once the debate shows the level of public concern.

#DirtyBusiness

I think it's a shame that Sharkey, Smith and others didn't get behind Alan Dean and Ashford Greens' petition when #DirtyBusiness was aired.

But hey, folks are obsessed with being originators of ideas, rather than supporting someone else's. 🤷

It all ends up in the same place eventually.

Think Water is a Dirty Business? Wait Until You Hear About the Contamination of Care Harry Bignell shows how the same private equity tactics exposed in Dirty Business are quietly hollowing out care systems.

@channel4news.bsky.social's #DirtyBusiness has got people across the country up in arms over private equity ownership draining UK public services. Unfortunately, Thames water is just the tip of rotting refuse mound at the core public services👇

UK looks to relax planning rules for factory farms after industry lobbying Exclusive: documents chronicle years-long campaign to make it easier to build intensive livestock units

The UK is already slipping in the international corruption index and yet #dirtybusiness continues.

Industrial animal farming needs cleaning up not dumbing down.

Petition: Nationalise water companies to make water a non profit publicly owned asset To make water a non profit making national asset that ensures we have a secure water infrastructure that ensures our water security for future generations.

This response is absolutely PATHETIC.

The water industry have had decades to sort this out, but instead they have asset-stripped to the point where nothing works properly any more.

If "strong regulation" is the answer, why has the Government not already put this in place? 🤔

This kind of drama really should be shown in schools: a reminder that our regulators often need... regulating.
And thank God for the guys (and gals) who, by giving up hours of their leisure time, hold these regulators to account.

Particularly enjoying the senior politicians' "bonfire of regulations" montage....

I see that the water companies are launching a combined advertising campaign promoting the extensive upgrade works that will be happening in the future.

So to be clear.

The water companies of the UK

Not a bunch of grubby, thieving b*stards

#dirtybusiness

This is really unthinkable in any other country. Is this possible because the water companies are run by foreign bodies who don't give a shit about the UK? Because if you live in this country, you wouldn't want to contaminate your rivers with shit.

Yorkshire campaigners at Westminster demand action on polluted water Pushback against the recent white paper on water pollution shows much more change is needed before parliament meets campaigners goals

My message to @yorkshirewater.bsky.social on today’s announcement on a reduction of sewage spills, don’t be fooled by them! #DirtyBusiness #SewagePollution

According to #BBCNews #Spotlight tonight, 2025 saw 407,000 hours of #SewageSpills by #SouthWestWater. With only 8,760 hours in a year, that’s an average of 46½ hours every. single. day. Criminal or what?
