This was one of the very first arguments to stay in the EU.

I used to tell people would happen if the UK would leave the EU. The water would get a hit because the UK wouldn’t be able to get what is needed to clean water and the gov.uk would go stuff it to any clean air/water idea. Because of lack of staff, paperwork, delay at borders, cost etc etc.

But would the loons listen to what I say, fingers, ears, lalala was all I got.

“Government says polluters can dump risky sewage into rivers as Brexit disrupts water treatment. Supply chain disruption leading to fears of water treatment chemical shortage.”
