the fact that we're no longer in the EU doesn't stop them getting beaches clean ... but something appears to be stopping them. The water companies are pretty disgraceful.
So floods are now down to brexit then? Right oh!
That has always been the case.
Are the 5C going to blame everything on brexit forever?
I wonder if there was a new round of company cars needed rather than investment in infrastructure at some point.

Never mind though, plenty more *** in the sea.
you have spotted that this is the Daily Mail and Boris's father talking?
well I wouldn't be advocating drinking from the River Rhine at the moment - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/12/germany-drought-rhine-water-levels-new-low
//Once, a river ran through it. Now, white dust and thousands of dead fish cover the wide trench that winds amid rows of trees in France's Burgundy region in what was the Tille River in the village of Lux.
From dry and cracked reservoirs in Spain to falling water levels on major arteries like the Danube, the Rhine and the Po, an unprecedented drought is afflicting nearly half of Europe. It is damaging farm economies, forcing water restrictions, causing wildfires and threatening aquatic species.//

Seems like the ponzi scheme can't manage their water supplies then. Good job they can't confiscate ours now then ... isn't it.

The very last line of that says "So Brexit has been at least cited as a factor which might allow water companies to increase how much sewage they discharge. "

Interesting.

In any case I agree with you, it's highly unlikely that someone who voted for Brexit would admit there are any downsides.
A crossbencher, a Conservative and a Labour peer crafted the amendment for water companies to progressively lessen raw sewage discharges.
The Government ordered its MPs to reject the amendment when it came back to the Commons. The amendment was stripped out but nothing replaced it. So the water companies can carry on pumping into our rivers and coastal waters with impunity.
Tory MPs voted down an
amendment to stop water companies dumping sewage into
rivers.
They claimed a ban would be too expensive.
But £56 BILLION has been paid out to shareholders since the
Tories privatised water.
It's time to bring water back into public ownership.
That is the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 for you
and the rest of the Act is a load of .....

You remember the Great British Liberties Bill - repeal the Human Rights Act 1998 and you get a lot LESS liberties than before
Politicians - liars all of them - - o! o! I must be careful or else I will be done for libel by those upright men who govern us
hey boys been thinking ( oo-er Mrs, this is AB)
OK trying to think then

Brexit has been such a success - why dont we do it all again ?
hur hur hur - - and we can celebrate our Frenchness avec the hit film - Brexit - Part II

Here’s a news story from more than 12 years ago re the UK breaking the 1991 Urban Waste Water Directive and the European Commission deciding to take legal action (against the UK).

Since we are no longer in the EU (subject to EU Directives), we have the freedom to release as much raw sewage as we like into our rivers and coastal waters – without fear of the EUSSR taking legal action to stop it.

Your not going to get Brexit reveresed Hymie so am not sure why you keep harping on about it.... surely we should focus on the issues like this one here of sewage pollution and get goverment to sort it out.... but by blethering on about 'Brexit I was right you were wrong' your just gonna turn people off and so something we should all agree on (less sewage) gets diluted or becomes a issue of division.
