THE PERFECT GIFT FOR YOUR LOCAL TORY! Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race crews told not to celebrate in the Thames for fear of infection. Our rivers and seas filled with sewage. Could there be a better metaphor for the state of the country today? Make the point by giving a bottle of their favourite water to your local Tory. Ideally, with a photo for your local newspaper and TV station.
Shocking new data from the Environment Agency shows that the sewage scandal is still getting worse. In 2023, the privatised water companies discharged raw sewage into our waterways and coastal waters for at least 3.6 million hours – a 105% increase on the previous 12 months. Meanwhile, these companies continue to pour out massive dividends to their shareholders and generous bonuses to their fat-cat bosses. And they want us to pay for the cost of cleaning up their act by putting up our water bills. Chateau Sewage - the gift every Tory needs To help you show what you feel about this, we’ve devised the perfect gift for your Tory MP, Tory councillor or regional water company boss: a bottle of “Chateau Sewage”. Find out how you can make and deliver one of these here. You'll find labels to print, a model press release, a link to Top of the Poops, to tell you the sewage pollution in your constituency, a social media graphic and more. If you do this, do please let us know! And send us a picture or video. Thanks for taking action to defend our natural environment. Bottoms up! Green Party Campaigns Committee

 Seven year-old Zane Gbangbola died in the early hours of 8 February 2014, when the River Thames flooded at Chertsey in Surrey. The floodwater had brought hydrogen cyanide gas from a nearby contaminated landfill site into his home. Toxic waste that nobody had been told was there.
This week the Green Party is launching a campaign for a 'Zane’s Law', aimed at making toxic waste dumps safe, and on Monday, Green-led Lewes District Council became the first council in England to vote for it. There are at least 1,287 old landfill sites in England thought to contain hazardous materials, and many of these are known to be leaking highly toxic substances. With the ever-growing risk of extreme climate-related events, the danger of floodwater from these sites poisoning those who live near them is also rising – and the regulations around them are shockingly weak. The Green Party has supported Zane’s parents in their struggle for truth and justice, Baroness Natalie Bennett has fought for stronger legislation in Parliament. You can sign a national petition and get involved with the campaign here. |
