A clean environment should be everyone’s public amenity.

Why should the c suites have that right. Dump manure on their beach front property and yachts

jimbolauski , to nottheonion in Public has no right to swim in sea, claims firm that dumped sewage at bathing spot

The only rational response to that is to spray pig manure all over the board’s homes.

I’d love to see a suit like this brought in the US specifically a state like Oregon where you have the right to use beaches.

If history is our guide, the polluting corporation would win in a red state every time.

Thankfully the majority of the ocean facing states either have been blue for decades, or are rapidly switching blue.

Does Washington have that law as well? That would mean that we protected the entire west coast of the main 48. I somehow suspect that neither AK or HI have such laws.

You999 ,

If I remember correctly yes with one exception for a beach just north of picnic point. That beach is to my knowledge the only privately owned beach in Washington because it used to be a ship salvage yard and several boats are still on the beach.

Last time I checked, no one owns the ocean.

Nooooo, trust me, you don’t need regulations, haha. We’re good people who would never do anything bad, promise. Why do we want those regulations gone? Just because you don’t need them, that’s all, I promise.

Look, nobody ever said you should be able to drink or bath with tap water…

Its added that even during the peak summer holiday season, South West Water and other firms have no duty to meet certain water quality standards.

“woah, woah, we’re a sewage company, we dump sewage. we’re not a clean water company. So what duty could we possibly have to dump sewage in a responsible manner?”

The defence states: “Even during the bathing season, there is no absolute right to swim each day.”

“you also don’t have an absolute right to walk on a public road, that’s where we’ll be dumping sewage next”

South West Water said it is the responsibility of the Government and the EA to ensure clean water, not the water companies that manage the nation’s rivers and coastline.

“Not our job to clean water, you want the Government. We’re just supposed to manage the water near the shore, so we dump all the sewage about a foot past where our jurisdiction stops. See? no problem!”

Yeah, how dare the public stop us from profitting by destroying our environment?

Didn’t the UK pioneer these laws in other counties? I mean if a country passes a law to protect its people, then the country has to pay the (usually foreign) company losses for the next 20 years due to the law change?

Honytawk , to news in Public has no right to swim in sea, claims firm that dumped sewage at bathing spot

Even if that were true, that firm still has no right to dump sewage in the sea

England is becoming an autocratic hellhole. The massive amount of poverty that has befallen the country leaves only room for more corruption.

And as you see, the common man has to step aside so that daddy Warbucks can abuse natural resources in “this green and pleasant land”… which it won’t be for long…

homesweethomeMrL ,

If only we could point to one party over an other as a culprit in this but alas they’re both exactly the same. mmmmm. Yes.

taanegl ,

…it’s the fucking Tories. I know you’re being sarcastic, but still.

That labour is unelectable is because they need a reform to fit the new situation rather than believing they still live in 2001. But between the two? The Tories are the ones who threw England into the gutter. Undeniably.

Labour will blame the Tories, the Tories will blame immigrant workers, sectors will fall, people become poorer and the Tories slap a big ol’ “mission accomplished” banner up.

Monarchists wondering why no one will stand up for the little guy 🤔

Eh, no. It’s the Tories and their stupid, corrupt plan.

It’s the “liberal market” gone wild (extra heavy quotations around “liberal”), via the trojan horse that was their brand of nationalistic, xenophobic protectionism, which tanked many businesses because they suffered massive brain drain and gave allowances to special friends of MP’s b’cus br’ih’ish, proving this horse called BREXIT was really just a way to avoid EU regulation, to gams UK economy by giving sharks and rat faced bastards the keys to the economy, which really just resulted in making every sector of industry in England alone a rechid hive of scum and villainy. No lie, throw a rock at any given UK market, and you just threw a rock into a shit tornado. The big idea? The OG intent? Usurp Switzerland as the new tax haven, to make London City great again - but instead, they just ground pounded British economy.

Like to underline the severity, I don’t think this is applicable everywhere, but England needs to decomodify a whole crapton of properties, because having blocks upon blocks standing empty for over decades due to “investors” sitting on it for its overpriced, projected liquidity, while homelessness is on the rise, is not a good look. We might see the return of hobbles and urchins in our lifetime. Crime will increase with poverty, and England itself might slowly turn into Victorian cyber dystopia when they finally have to “DEAL WITH THE CRIME RATES”. Can’t wait for that little smorgus board of human rights violations.

Additionally, judging by the various other "monarchies* in the world, including Norway, Sweden and Denmark, which are constitutional monarchies, they sure do cost a fair deal of money, but think of them more as the nations top soap opera. It’s basically state sanctioned idols, and unless they’ve got a lot of power, is as harmless as The Kardasian’s… who are just privatised royalty if you ask me.

That is to say, we have exceptions, like the Franco’s, the Philippino and Thai monarchies, the various African monarchies (tho not all? Not sure here), etc. But again, it’s not the hard and fast rule you think it is.

Here’s where my concern lies: if you get angry when you hear “monarchy”, ambivalent when you hear “aristocracy” and go “huh” like that meme cat when you hear “the clergy”, I think you might need to rethink your perception of governance and power structures.

In this case, the British people have to finally kill off their aristocracy and be aware that the Tories are literally enabling an oligarchy run by a bunch of pinheads and needledicks who think they can “save the kingdom”, if only you cut more taxes and threw out more immigrant labour… WHICH IS WHAT CAUSED THE FUCKING PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH!!!

Tories are trash, human garbage, and I don’t care who has to hear it.

The water treatment executives have no right to not have pieces of lead lodged in their heads.

thesporkeffect , to news in Public has no right to swim in sea, claims firm that dumped sewage at bathing spot

Holy shit. Is there no law against dumping waste? It seems immaterial whether someone has a ‘right to swim’, that’s not the issue at hand dude

Tories empowering firms to dump toxic sludge is something that will take decades to recover from. Fuck Johnson and fuck Sunak.
