I think you're on to something there; poisoning the entitled DFL cunts is all win/win, but I'm really not happy with the effect of all that shit on the ecosystems of N. Kent beaches & marshes.
Tough call.

The rivers of shit thing, is it really totally brexit related?
Are other countries not pumping magnificent quantities of raw sewage into their beaches and rivers day and night due to covid or something, is it just us?
A very short google suggests that England is number one in the world for privatising its water supply. I think that is probably relevant too.

When I go fishing one thing that strikes me is how clean the rivers and beaches are. The same cannot be said for the UK.

It has taken years for uk water quality to rise to what it was last year, now the green light has been given to water companies to tip untreated sewage into rivers when flooding occurs they are going to do it more and more.
the EU controls were a good thing

You see that word 'illegally' in yr headline there from Spain in 2019?
Its not illegal in Great Britian now, its totally fine, government approved, no problem to pump raw sewage into rivers and beaches, since a couple of weeks ago. Thats why people are talking about the rivers of shit.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
It's partly down to the HGV shortage and partly down to massive quantities of rain and decades of under investing in literally sorting shit out.

One of the issues that's always struck me about living here, and has gotten worse as I've gotten older as power is held less and less accountable, is just how many things we've invented to protect us long term are criminally neglected or underfunded or left toothless.
I can't think of any agency that is funded anywhere near adequately, huge amounts of the health and safety industry is short on staff and kit and that's replicated everywhere, from tax to industry inspectors. Frequently after a hard battle in the early to mid 20th century to ensure they actually exist.
There's just no long term commitment to maintaining standards or funding, central government cuts again and again and again. God help us now we've left the EU and the eager fucks in power are keen to cut red tape.

tbh the legalisation of shit dumping all over the land is where i lose my sense of humour, its a fucking shame, its properly disgusting. The gov calling it an 'unavoidable' consequence of brexit pisses me off. I like oysters, and voles.

Interesting reading. There’s certainly problems here in Spain. The Cantabrian Sea, where i fish, is, as far as I can tell, clean. You can see the fish swimming around ignoring the bait.More a comment on Des's fishing in beautifully clean Spanish rivers and sea.
