"Warning as lead and arsenic wash up on beach."
Remember those plastic beads now washing up along a 70 mile stretch of the English coast, the ones belonging to Southern Water that they told you were inert and totally harmless?
Turns out they're contaminated with lead, arsenic and cadmium amongst other things.
And @EnvAgency does what exactly?

Ben Elton gets the Slapstick/ Aardman Comedy Legend Award at the culmination of the very good 2025 @slapstickfest. This was the 20th Slapstick and I’ve been at all of them. It’s another example of one of the things that’s good about Bristol - festivals you don’t get elsewhere.

This is massive
Supreme Court rules WCs can sued for nuisance or trespass for dumping sewage even if “There has been no negligence or deliberate misconduct”, by the WC
That opens the way for 1,000s of claims by fishing clubs, swimmers, riparian owners against WCs. WOW just WOW!

Am thrilled that I got to design and make Don Quixote Morph for Terry Gilliams Award for Visual Comedy
It is a proud moment to know that he is the owner of something I had a hand in after having enjoyed his work for so many years. Thanks to @SlapstickFest for involving me.
It has been such a pleasure to have visionary director Terry Gilliam as a part of #Slapstick2024 and to present him with the @Aardman Slapstick Award for Visual Comedy!

The Govt have now announced their much heralded ban on wet wipes on no less than 3 occasions in recent years (2018, 21, 23) 🙄
These filthy items however continue to clog up our failing sewage system and leach micro plastics into our long suffering rivers

A recent poll @thetimes illustrates the public’s outrage over the govt’s APPALLING handling of sewage spills💩 bit.ly/487caOW
Our petition calls for the govt to urgently enforce stronger regulations to improve water quality across the UK. We’re SO close to our target.🧵
