Re: 'Twenty Year Pollution Fail' by Environment Agency
Look to the real culprits ... follow the money.
From the Severn Trent Water website "About Us " page:
"Privatisation
1989 saw the formation of Severn Trent Plc, the parent company for Severn Trent Water. As a private company, Severn Trent Water invested heavily in replacing and repairing its assets and infrastructure. As well as complying with government legislation it set its own internal standards on issues such as public health, leakage reduction and the cleanliness of rivers and other water sources in its catchment region."
I noted that the outfit did consider a £5.3 billion takeover offer from Kuwait in 2013, which it declined - too much money in doing what it does, badly it turns out.
The poor old EA cops it in the neck every time.
