Israel has declared the Madleen (With Greta Thunberg on) a security threat, it is jamming their electronic systems and circling them with combat drones. If it blows them up Israel will surely declare it an 'accident' but it will be their most blatant War Crime yet.

Fly tippers can be sent to jail for up to 5 years. Thames Water dumped 29,000 Olympic Swimming pools worth of sewage, 3 every hour for a whole year, but they are rich so jail isn't even considered.

For over ten weeks, Israeli forces have blocked food, water and medicine from entering Gaza. With over two million facing famine and the Netanyahu Government planning to seize all of Gaza, will the PM back a joint plan to recognise Palestine and end this appalling blockade?

Despite being basket case of * sewage discharges * under-provision of water resources for London & surrounds * spiralling debt all funded (with no choice) by water bill payers in the region... bonuses that double salaries for senior management at Thames Water are OK. Wow www.ft.com/content/1f6d...

Thames Water wants "special treatment" from regulators- a chance to dodge £100s of millions in fines. Shareholders keep their wealth; we pick up the tab. It doesn't have to be that way. The govt and regulators must stand up to profiteering bullies and bring water into public hands.
