UK water companies made £340m by pouring billions of litres of industrial/commercial wastewater into sewage treatment works. Treatment works are not designed to remove most chemicals, leaving pollutants to pass into rivers, seas and farmland. Investment neglected. Practices are mostly unregulated.

True, Khashoggi was killed for his knowledge of illegal dealings between Trump/MBS; like passing nuclear tech via traitor Mike Flynn. Putin, Trump, MBS are all criminal despots who will do anything for self-enrichment, and all conspire for each other’s crimes and coverups. Too bad MAGA can’t see it?
