For all of your messages of support and donations that started rolling in as soon as the first episode of Dirty Business was aired. We have been overwhelmed by the response, so please bear with us while we sort out replies and thanks!
Many people are angry and upset but also energised and motivated. They want change, and that means an end to what Dirty Business shows so powerfully to be a broken system, built on extracting money and ignoring the sometimes terrible consequences, instead of being a water industry fit for the 21st century on the crowded island that we call home.
We will not waste this opportunity pursuing a chance to make a small improvement to what many already recognise as an awful prospect from propsed new laws. We are going for a proper fix that will put water company employees in a properly funded position to do the job well and to protect public health and the environment - delivering good value and good working conditions.
That means an end to privatisation and a transfer to public ownership but not inefficient companies run by the government, well managed modern companies owned by the public and funded by ring fenced billpayers money - as history and the accounts show, all the money we need.
We want and urgently need to shed the shareholders that brought nothing and took plenty and the creditors that have taken control; to end the unnecessary debt scam.
We want to take the parasites out of our water industry.
More on that coming soon and if you want to help but have no local group to join, a blog for you is on the way...

We have just finished watching ‘Dirty Business’. Well done on bringing this abhorrent scandal into the light through all your hard work and this programme. We have just emailed our MP. I had to pay the wastewater bill yesterday and wondered if any mass movement to withhold payments would be of any value…?

I actually applied for two roles at the Environment Agency over the past two years, as I wanted to work for an organisation that I believed had the protection of the environment at its heart. After watching the programme, however, I will never apply again. I find it deeply disappointing and difficult to believe the level of corruption that appears to exist.
What you have done, and continue to do, is highly commendable. Your commitment to exposing these issues and serving the public interest is genuinely admirable, and I believe you both deserve recognition for your public service. Keep up the good work 💪
Can't thank you enough for the work you've done and continue to do. I've felt powerless...... don't know where to start but willing to support and help to change things.
These 2 guys have worked their socks off for yrs to get to where we’re at.
I think it’s down to us to help these guys so they can have a bit of a well earned rest.
First thing is to reduce the massive amount of cleaning chemicals we pour down the drain
