Poisoning our waterways

IF you haven't watched the brilliant docudrama Dirty Business then you need to.

This is an excellent three-part drama where the people who are being affected take on big business. Right from the beginning we are shown how raw sewage is being leaked into the River Windrush by Thames Water. Two retirees, Ash Smith and Peter Hammond, start to investigate how regularly these discharges occur and the level of pollution. They find that at times untreated sewage simply pours into the river for days.
