Last week South West Water were fined £8m for >200 sewage discharges in Devon & Cornwall over a 5 year period. Their mantra is “1 pollution is too many”. In the first 11 weeks of 2026, water companies had already dumped over 69,000 hours of sewage into bathing waters. ENOUGH. Public ownership now.

Photo of George Monbiot accompanying a quote from The Guardian, July 2025: "Instead of borrowing to pay for infrastructure improvement, water companies borrowed to pay for dividends. Just as the water companies dump their sewage in the rivers, they have also dumped their liabilities on the public. The country becomes their dustbin."

There was a time when the Tories, however hypocritically, claimed to want to protect our natural heritage. Now they're just a party of vandals, ripping down the few protections the living world has for the sake of their rich chums. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

In a world where we sign a replacement much better than Curtis Jones we all shake hands and move on. In this one there is seemingly no direct replacement by all accounts, so this stinks. Nyoni is not a replacement, maybe in a few years he might be, but currently no. #LFC

Person from the 1976s: how are things going on the environment front? Are people recycling? 2026: We've made some pretty good progress blowing up Russian oil refineries with kamikazie robots. The oil in the Middle East is mostly trapped behind sea mines for now. 1976: Wh... what?

My first ever #LFC game was watching Keegan and Toshack, so like many here he was a childhood hero, who you wanted to be in the playground. So fondness and sadness are my feelings this evening. RIP KK.

I’ve hired a brand new car for work and it’s a disgrace of a thing. If you take your eyes off the front windscreen for more than a second an alarm goes off, plus the speed warning alarm, and the frigging lane keeping system that grabs the steering wheel from your hands - who asked for any of these 🤬
