Dirty Business Shocking real-life drama about the muck in our water and a corporate scandal

Firstly, don’t be eating anything watching this. This is the greatest environmental scandal in my living memory.

I’ve not seen as much publicity as the #postofficescandal

The bosses should be criminally prosecuted and the #EnvironmentAgency should be overhauled

This beggars belief when the #EnvironmentAgency have turned a blind eye to the impact of their polluting sea and waterways policies. People have died or become seriously ill because of them . Justice please

#UKGovt must now investigate #EnvironmentAgency for motives on breaches . Deaths have occurred due to de- regulation . Time to see the urgency in the situation and suspend #EnvironmentAgency pending a full investigation

are responsible for the illness and deaths from E. coli 0157 and cryptosporidium. They know raw sewage contains these toxins .
The tax payer must not fund an agency which is supporting organised crime . A scandal that must be resolved .
