The water company said in a statement after sentencing: "We apologise for what happened in the past." Presumably that's only because they can't yet apologise for the sewage spills in the future?
bbc.co.uk
South West Water fined almost £8m for sewage spills
South West Water previously entered guilty pleas to pollution offences spanning six years.

Royals rocked by Spencer memoir The new Private Eye is out now.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1684 of Private Eye magazine with the caption “ON SHELVES NOW!” The cover reads “ROYALS ROCKED BY SPENCER MEMOIR” and features four panels. “EARL FLOGS DEAD SISTER” shows Charles Spencer holding his memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, with the captions “The final stage of grief is acceptance…” and “…of the book deal!” “KING CHARLES AT TECH SUMMIT” shows Charles saying “It’s a terrifying existential threat”, a man asking “AI?”, and receiving the reply “No, DI!” “CAR CRASH INTERVIEW” shows Laura Kuenssberg asking Spencer, “So Charles is a callous, disloyal bastard?”, to which he replies, “Yes, I am”. “CAMILLA BOOK CLUB SHOCK” shows Queen Camilla beside a stack of books saying, “This month I am not recommending…”

There is no rational reason for supporting Trump at this point. His policies have tanked the economy and national debt is $40 trillion. Iran controls the strait. 3 million Epstein docs withheld. He is fighting with our allies and sucking up to dictators. Not to mention Trump is a felon and rapist.

When we in the Black community label someone who looks like us a sellout, it would be best to believe us. Racism by proxy: When someone wants to say something really racist about our community, they put a Black face on it. Paid agents for white supremacy is what you get.
