Bid to criminalise water companies that don’t tackle sewage spills fails
Rejected proposal comes on same day report shows 10 million litres of sewage were dumped into water at Lake District
A bid to criminalise water companies that fail to tackle sewage has failed.
The Liberal Democrats had proposed an amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill that would have created new offences if firms did not do enough to deal with spills.
But the measure failed on Wednesday after Tory MPs voted against and Labour members abstained.
Labour abstain, can’t even decide if it’s bad to sh@t in the lake or not 🤦
I dont care if it's not tactical at this point, I'm voting green at the next election.
Labour abstained because they think they are going to win the next GE and don't want to actually have to enforce that law, or fail to and then be dragged for it.
That really dose not sound any better then. OPs "can't even decide"
Not wanting to enforce a law. Why. Its down to the justice department and EA to enfoce it.
We don't want to basically means they don't plan to provide any resources to clean up our water but just plan to win the election based on how shit tories are. Without commiting to doing anything better.
Boss: Just dump it in the river there. No one will care! Underling employee: yes sir, boss sir! —Later——————————— Boss: I didn’t do it! Must have been that rogue employee of ours!
Nationalise the water companies. They're not human and thus have no rights.
Clean water is woke
Everyone knows, true republicans only drink beer and coke. But only non diet coke, as less calories is woke.
We never did find out why Mr. Trump drank diet rather than full
sugarcorn syrup coke.
