As expected, Johnson's "Freedom Day" delayed until 19 July. Remember his bombastic speech re this pivotal moment of finally lifting the lockdown curbs. It reminded me of a similar Trump speech way back in April 2020 when he stupidly commented that the COVID virus would be beaten and all will be back to normal by 31 May - a lotta pish uttered by an idiot who eventually became infected!! What is very noticeable re this latest development is the lack of intensity on this subject within the Brit govt ranks and their complicit RW media./press. However, Johnson slammed by the HOC Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, for announcing this bad news in an arranged news slot rather than following parliamentary protocol and doing it in the parliamentary debating chamber - a massive lack of respect and not ignored by the House Speaker.

He made about as much sense as that Scotland team selection yesterday. Clearly he had had a good weekend in Cornwall.

Illegal sewage discharge in English rivers 10 times higher than official data suggests


All of the rivers, lakes and streams in England are polluted, says the Environment Agency.

This is what happens when you allow deregulation and market forces to have too much control over something as basic and important as our water.

Watch how they scrap the EU regulations - MANY OF WHICH ORIGINATED FROM THE UK - for something less 'red tapey'.

The figures appear to have got much worse because the stricter tests brought in by the EU have shown up levels of long-banned pollutants such as PCB in the tissues of living organisms. In future I doubt we will even know.
