Poison Water tells the horrifying tale of Britain’s worst mass poisoning — TV review Gripping BBC documentary unravels the events that led to a catastrophic accident in 1988

Very good doc on the costs of water privatisation: Thatcherite dogma to produce the only privatised water in the world. The Cornwall water scandal saw 20,000 people poisoned as they cut-costs pre-sell-off & then covered it up to aid privatisation. #PoisonWater

Aluminium, not ‚anxiety‘.

3/3 Excellent contribution from now-Lord Paul Tyler, MP for #NorthCornwall, 1992-2005 to last night's #BBC2 documentary film #PoisonWater - review ⬇️ As he says, #MichaelHoward cannot claim not to have known about the cover-up 🚨

Extraordinary story and the arrogance and dismissiveness of officials and water company bosses is really anger-inducing. Doug Cross - such a mild mannered quiet hero.
#poisonwater

Michael Howard is still a slippery little shit even after all these years.
