Man with extremely punchable face thinks England's waterways aren't polluted enough - and guess who's paying

Government says scrapping EU-era protections on nutrient neutrality will allow for an additional 100,000 homes

Government defends plans to scrap EU-era environmental protections
Scrapping EU-era environmental protections on nutrient neutrality will allow for an additional 100,000 homes to be built in England by 2030, the government has claimed.

Environmental campaigners have criticised the planned change, but the government says housing developments contribute only a small fraction of nutrient pollution and new funding is being provided to mitigate any associated increase. The changes will see the financial burden to mitigate nutrient pollution for new housing shifted from developers to taxpayers, PA Media reports.

The government says it intends to work with the house building industry to ensure that larger developers make what it describes as an appropriate and fair contribution to the scheme over the coming years. No detail on that has been announced, but the government said it is discussing how to do so with the Home Builders Federation...

Now, something is rattling in my head about flooding round here caused by builders dumping waste in a river?

As for nitrates in rivers - well, when their prized doggy gets poisoned by blue-green algae...

[Andy McDandy]

He's the fucking Mail made flesh - oh, we don't need all this legislation to make people do the right thing, if anything it just aggravates people and why can't we just appeal nicely to their better natures and I'm only trying to be nice and......have they gone? Right, crack on with the dodgy stuff, like we even give a toss.

There is a factual response to this, but it has got lost in the noise...

[Andy McDandy]

Amazing people, those immigrants. Demanding more houses despite having no money and living three families to a room.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Are we talking about this £140m thing that the taxpayer will now cover? Not sure I'm that bothered about that. Small amount of money, we want to encourage more development, might make sense to pay for it ourselves. The economic benefit of building more homes would be way more than £140m. Then again, it might be a pointless give away to donors. Fuck it, I'll go with the latter, that's what they'd do to us.

The EU reducing nitrate levels in rivers is a big issue with the conspiracist lunatic fringe. The Dutch government buying up farms to curtail production and therefore nitrate pollution levels is part of a sinister WEF plot to have us all eating insects or something.

Oh, I'd forgotten about that one - along with "the planet is overpopulated/Bill Gates wants to depopulate the planet"

What's George Soros doing these days and why doesn't he want to rule the world anymore?

Gove's ex-wife Sarah Vine has written an article in the Mail tomorrow claiming that 'Basket Case Britain now feels like a third World country.' I wonder who she blames for Britain's decline?

Soros is small fry.
The proper Q types know that the WEF is led by Davros.
That terrifying bloke who built the Daleks.

That’s not far off. Vine blames Sadiq Khan, unions, universities, trans rights wokes and layabouts for third world Britain and more importantly her flight being cancelled. She didn’t mention EU red tape which thanks to Brexit means she won’t be compensated a single penny from the airline for leaving her stranded.

Last time I checked, Sadiq Khan had absolutely no influence at all outside of That London. But he's brown. And he's one of Them. So yeah. Tentacles of evil throughout this Green and Pleasant Land.

Fucking racist Tory cunts. I fucking hate them.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

And the media owners who enable them.

And the media owners who enable them.

I will be VERY disappointed with Labour if they do not have a thorough review of media ownership in this country and look at Leveson 2.

Sadly, I think this won't happen.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Leveson 2 is still policy, I think.

Would be surprised if they spent much time on newspaper ownership. Very different world to when the Sun was selling all those copies. Facebook is much more important and I've no idea what you do about the bollocks on there.
