MODERATORS
No, UK beaches were increasingly becoming the cleanest in Europe.
However that stopped around 13 years ago and the water companies keep emergency dumping waste water.
I don’t know where it all went wrong. All we did was incentivise spewing shit all over everything and now for some reason there’s shit over everything. It just doesn’t make sense.
We just have to keep going and wait for the market of regional monopolies to correct itself.
The problem is that there is still too much regulation!!!
You see, if the regulators stopped intervening by, for example, not analysing the waters in beaches looking for fecal mater contamination anymore, nobody would be worried about swiming in shit!
(/s for avoidance of doubt).
