For those in any doubt, the ongoing nitrates derogation debate is not about the science on water quality, it's political wrangling, with our rivers, lakes and seas caught in the crossfire.

Always very convenient when anti-degrowters admit right up front that they don't know what degrowth is.
Degrowth is not about making people poorer. Most wealthy countries have seen plenty of growth over the last few decades, but lives have gotten worse.
