Even if polls are correct and the electorate flushes the Tories down the loo, it will take years, decades even to stop this sort of things

Had a conversation on here the other day about UK tap water. My father was a water treatment engineer and he always used a secondary source of purification. Anyway, here’s a new map from the Drinking Water Inspectorate.

I wish more of us could grasp this. It might wake more of us up about claims ‘we can’t afford the junior doctors pay demands’, ‘we have to balance the books’ as if we’re a 1950s housewife doing simple double entry accounting (the Daily Mail/Express trope)..

THIS IS MY ONLY POST TODAY - Everyone is welcome to comment (as often as they wish), and are welcome to share. To start - Since the Tories came to power in the UK in 2010, we have seen the demise of LIBRARIES, FIRE STATIONS, YOUTH CLUBS, THE NHS and a rise in ENERGY POVERTY and FOODBANKS...

Great pick 👍. I'm a big fan of the Scandinavian jazz scene. Much of their jazz has roots in their traditional folk style.
