I think Yaxley-Lennon played a huge part,

I think Robinsons' followers are more likely to be violent, where as Farages followers are mostly law-abiding, but it's those people marching that make it possible for the violent thugs to do their work.

In my local area we had a BNP councillor who was involved with the EDL and violent marches, he went on to be involved in cage fighting. So these people are ok with violence, they are not the same kind of people that Farage has stirred up.

Not really, why would it?

It would sting if they privatised the industry, while waving their little Union Jacks, gaslighting the popualtion that they are patriots, meanwhile selling of the country's assets to foreign companies. Most of the water industry now is in the hands of foreign ownership, flogged off on the cheap.

Do the people who now own the water companies have to put up with **** in their rivers and seas?

 

In their manifesto, Labour promised they would toughen up regulation, and give regulators power to press criminal charges against water bosses who repeatedly break the law.

As that requires legislation, and Parliament is in recess, then until Parliament opens then there's naff all they can do.

 

It's a shame that those who complain about **** everywhere take their share of responsibility, rather than complain when a government of another stripe doesn't clean up straight away the mess they voted for back in the late 1980s

No, Labour voter saying that the plans which I very briefly mentioned, while welcome, don't go nearly far enough.

What were the Tory plans oh wise one?
