Rivers Minister Richard Benyon said:
“We all love our rivers. ….. They are vitally important ……. we’ve all got a role to play in making sure our rivers are as healthy as they can be.
It’s especially important that we care for our rivers ……. and the importance we all place on making sure our actions don’t damage our rivers.”
Why then is the Government insisting on building hydropower plants on all the weirs it can?
It's like saying 'I love my wife, but I rather think she'd suit having a millstone around her neck.'

Some rivers (e.g. Itchen) are more loved than others (as George Orwell so very nearly wrote in his abandoned book On The Road To a Big Society in 1984), and ever will be....

which venue would you have picked to launch this iniatitive folks
hydropower, spot on jeff, endochrine pollution, etc etc, the more stress applied to the system, the less required to tip it over the edge
surely the person with the inside edge on this political posturing, is the ATr own mr salter, but is his reliance on his former associates gonna temper his outrage
