Stop Southern Water polluting our rivers & shorelines!

The Issue

We want the Environment Agency, DEFRA, Local Councils & the UK government to take real action against Southern Water & it's shareholders.

The company has been fined £90million for the "biggest environmental crime" the Environment Agency has seen since it was established over 25 years ago, yet it continues to pollute British Rivers & shorelines, now more than ever.

Meanwhile, alongside their extraordinary wage, it's shareholders each rewarded themselves £840,000 MINIMUM in bonuses last year, whilst using subsidies aka the taxpayers money, to pay fines that were given to the company, in order to protect the health of... The TAXPAYER!

Its excruciatingly poetic, but the ordinary citizen who loves this country, this planet & all it's beauty, has investments, family health etc dependent on the health of this planet - isn't amused.

We want legal action taken against the individuals & we want Southern Water to STOP dumping it's sewage until it can properly treat it. Or provide alternatives to stop dumping waste altogether. It is the 21st century after all... Can it not be used for power, among other things?

Otherwise, #nationalise it & use the profits made by the few, to fund modern infrastructure & clean up projects for the many...

We all saw how clear and clean the water looked throughout 2020, how dare these elitist thugs immediately use this as an opportunity to double down on their poisoning of our precious, life supporting eco systems.

Whilst charging us, for the privilege in doing so...
