Sewage woes

It is perverse we have a Government on the one hand trying to prevent diseases, at the same time allowing sewage into rivers, lakes and seas that makes us sick.

What sort of fines do the water companies get for discharging into rivers? If any other company or individual polluted land or water on a regular basis, the Environment Agency, etc would come down on them like a ton of bricks.

Typical of government buck passing and double standards. For eg. it's OK for Border Force to act as a migrant ferry service, but if a decent, hard working trucker unknowingly brings in one parasite migrant clinging to his axle, he gets hammered with big fines. Politicians = traitors.

Think of Monopoly - the game. Water works and some other areas are of lower value to the player than others. The reason is steady income. Something the regulators could look at - just what % profit / dividends should they be allowed to take. However. FED reports that corporate profits are running at 15% when it should be about 10 to 12.

House building is rather interesting in the same respect.
