Dirty Business review – if this doesn’t incite righteous anger over our filthy water then nothing will Based on the true story of amateur sleuths appalled at the dumping of sewage in our rivers, this drama starring David Thewlis is a blast of controlled fury – and could become the next Mr Bates vs the ...

💷 £10 million upgrade. Zero improvement.😡

Last week, #citizenscientist Angela Jones recorded the highest pollution levels ever at the Usk sewage treatment works.👇

THIS is why citizen science matters. An “upgrade” that entrenches pollution is NOT progress.

🚫 For years, wet wipes have clogged sewers, fuelled fatbergs & choked our rivers.

Removing plastic wipes from shelves is progress — but a partial ban won’t fix the problem.

Plastic or not, wet wipes don’t belong in our waterways.

Fining firms for sewage spills will get 'quicker and easier', says government The plans would see automatic fines for some offences and the burden of proof lowered for others.

“Quicker and easier" fines won’t clean up our rivers.💩

£500,000 fines are pocket change to billion-pound polluters like Thames Water. 😡 💷
