South West Water pleaded guilty to sewage dumping, fined £8m, a decade after the events. Yet govt introduced more deregulation. England's water industry controlled by organisations with criminal convictions. None has licence revoked. No exec prosecuted. Customers fleeced.

Blockbuster movies need alternative soundtracks for when they are broadcast on TV. It's infuriating having to reach for the remote every time the soundtrack switches from inaudible mumbling to all out nuclear war and back.

What the fuck do they mean 'spontaneous protest'? 1000 people spontaneously taking a walk around Dover with Balaclavas? Look at the social media of every Far-Right organiser in the UK... This was so clearly planned. This tells every Far-Right thug in the country that they have utter impunity.
