As you are obviously an environment expert as well as economist why not offer your services to Miss Coffey as I'm sure that she would benefit from your expertise

Companies need a reason to ditch sewage. Flood potential or plant failure are but two. If this has been abused then fines should be huge and they are being introduced and rightly so. Given that these dumps of waste may at times have been needed for the reasons I gave would flooding the local land with raw sewage be a better option?

In total, water firms in England discharged raw sewage into rivers 372,533 times in 2021.

I must admit that I did find it amusing that someone who is a smoker and as fat as she is was appointed Health Secretary

The French are 18% more productive than us, according to the ONS.

I don't use the forum much these days but occasionally I'll pop up if I think there is something important to say.

For example, I think a lot of us become convinced that what a party might say to its base or public is what they actually implement and intend.....whereas, as in life, what someone actually does reveals the truth.

There is what someone says and then there is what they do.

For example, the very party that is meant to be representating the right in Britain, our very own Tory party has a home office that funds the very people opposing their Rwanda policy. It's not an accident as they could alter these funding decisions easily.

So to go down the list on the very people that the taxpayer via the Home office is funding:

The Refugee Council, the first signatory on the letter, was awarded £1,596,275 in the 2021/2022 financial year.

Eight other charities also received funding despite vocal opposition to the Government:

The Medaille Trust awarded £677,074

The Pickwell Foundation, awarded £384,704

Disability Rights UK, awarded £140,346

Advice NI, awarded £98,000

Race Equality Foundation, awarded £92,681

Asylum Welcome, awarded £59,417

Helen Bamber Foundation, awarded £6,000

Citizens of the World Choir, awarded £1,500

In total, the Government gave £3,055,997 in taxpayer cash to the very people opposing them.

There is also a further 1.8 million that these open border 'charities' can apply for in March.

As the saying goes. It's a circus. It's opinion management and nothing else.

Look at what actually happens.....look at the statistics rather than the words and the real policies reveal the truth.
