The thing on "Today" left me totally unimpressed. Typical PR BS.

Don't be fooled by today's announcement (covered on "Today"!) into thinking 'problem solved', there is still a very long way to go - proof of the pudding etc but acknowledging the problem is at least a start.

Just so galling that the water industry's patronising spokesperson still blames the Victorian infrastructure 33 years after they took it over.

There was an item on this on Radio Four's "Today" Programme this morning, just after 7:30am (therefore, just after an hour and a half into the programme, if you are trying to find it on "Listen Again").

I find it staggering that shareholders of a utility can basically vote as to whether improvements to the pollution situation are made or not.

And as for our excuse for an MP, who I always refer to these days (after his infamious vote on this matter) as "The Member for the Pro-Sewage Party", the less said the better
