Water companies in the UK have been dumping toxic sewage sludge on farm land.

This sewage is polluting our rivers and contaminating the soil that grows our food and could also cause a risk of cancer.

We need the UK government to stop this immediately. Please sign the petition.

Water companies MUST pay to fix their mess and stop contaminating our soil!

We don't want this in the UK!
The volume of water needed to cool the servers in data centers has become a nationwide resource issue.

Volume isn’t the most pressing problem in Morrow County, however. The issue is pollution, which Amazon’s data centers have exacerbated since its arrival.

The pandemic of Covid-19 is still ongoing.

Covid-19 continues to pose a life-threatening danger to every human being.

Repeated infections of Covid-19 inevitably result in serious illness and early mortality.

Respirator masks are necessary for safety in all public spaces.

If you still think digital ID sounds like a harmless idea, watch this conversation between Blair and Ellison openly admitting it is about surveillance and control. Chilling isn’t the word.

An enormous dereliction of duty by Starmer's government. Covid is a continuing problem that is becoming an economic nightmare. Catch Covid three times and you have almost a 40% likelihood of being left chronically ill. Long Covid is why the disabled benefit system is becoming unaffordable.
The MILLIONS of people who were denied vaccines are suddenly realising.

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social this was a terrible idea.

Not only will the NHS struggle this autumn / winter, but people will suffer and die unnecessarily.

It isn't too late for a U-turn!

While I am ranting about politicians, here is a list of MP's from 2023 that voted to allow Water Companies to continue dumping raw sewage in our rivers and seas.

Never forget those Tory sewage MP's!!💩

I saw "Free Gear" Starmer on the news saying the reason for Digital ID was to stop immigrants working illegally! 😂

It's actually whoever is paying them that is facilitating the problem, so a matter of failed enforcement and a soft justice system not being hard enough on the criminal employers.

Out fishing today on a new water.

A picturesque and peaceful place, along with lots of fun sized carp caught.

A joy to be out!

Incredibly sad news from across the pond that AK Best has passed away.

He was and will always remain a massive influence on my fly tying. His book Production Tying by A.K. Best is essential.

If you have time, please give Wet Fly Swing S4 E141 a listen and raise a glass 🥃
