Of course, we could always kick the French out of our waters and take back our own fish, rebuild our fishing industry.
Oh, Brexit could be a wonderful thing!

TBF we should all (UK + EU, Scandinavia) lay off the popular catches in the North Sea for a few decades and let fish stocks recover. Fish for the more obscure stuff that's doing okay; it's gonna be battered anyway  ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

"We"? Apparently, over 70% of our water companies are owned by foreign interests. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Do you know which laws, what they say that allows it?

Can you give me a link to where the environment agency says it's ok, where you read it?
I think I heard that they were allowed a certain leeway under certain conditions, but they're doing more than they should be? Something to do with lack of investment in treatment capacity. Which might be something to do with foreign investment concerns not having any incentive to invest...maybe. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Sudden peak flows in heavy rain events are a problem everywhere.
https://www.waternewseurope.com/tourists-in-europe-are-swimming-in-raw-sewage-despite-blue-flags/
Since there is probably going to be a flood down the river too it would often as not be well diluted. While it is far from ideal there has to be a way to allow controlled release in exceptional storms or it might all flow back up your shitter.
Recognising that there must always be a last resort option to release is all that the political fake fuss is about.
If funding to create gigantic emergency storage lakes of poo is required then so be it but there still has to be a limit to what is considered a realistic peak flow and sooner or later it will be exceeded then you are back to deciding what is best option again. |

If the drains on roads weren't connected to the sewer system then the sewers wouldn't overflow when there's lots of rain.

I like sea and river swimming when possible, it's become more difficult lately due to the increasing amount of sewage being dumped.
I can understand the need to have an overflow system however unsavoury it is. The issue is the same as lots at the moment. The water companies are making huge profits and doing relatively little to put back into the infrastructure. The phrase 'don't shit where you eat' is meant to be a metaphor, the water companies have made it literal if you eat seafood. The volumes with which they are discharging due to 'exceptional circumstances' makes you wonder what the criteria is.
Everyone pays a fee for sewage treatment with their water bill. Seems all they are doing is pumping it back out so what is that going towards?! |

First of all, who is Kotsko? Another of these no-real-world-experience academics perchance? A "political commentator" (i.e. a next-to-unemployed nobody)?
Secondly, why does he think anyone should care about his "gut instinct" (i.e. no actual thought or study applied)? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Rightly or wrongly* politicians seem to take more notice of Twitter than Facebook. And Twitter is the worst possible form of pressure cooker with which to cook up ideas.
The question is therefore why the Tweeters Twats hold any sway and if I were to guess it's because politicians' underlings (interns in the US) are all kids hooked on techno-dopamine hits and these kids are the ones pouring poison in the ear of the king
