Fish are jumping and the cotton is high.

We've already got hosepipe bans despite record rainfall levels in April and beaches being closed by the dozen on account of record levels of untreated sewage being pumped into the sea. Welcome to sunny Great Britain.

The water companies used to be regulated whereby these things were prevented. Oh, wait a minute..............................

Desalination plants are the future - but only once we've cracked nuclear fusion.

Here's a link to an informative anybody wanting to comment about the state of UK waters should read before posting.

you don't have a water shortage, you can't deliver the supply quickly enough so they are limiting it - decades of under funding

Maybe they could power these plants with all the sewage that is pumped into the sea.
