Cheers for this Joe. Here's another ongoing and life-threatening scandal that is the legacy of every government since the inception of the NHS. Yesterday, my ex-husband of 40 years passed away in hospital 2 days after being found on the floor by his carers on Monday. They contacted my daughter at work, so she came and stayed with him till the ambulance arrived. 13 HOURS LATER ! He did not live in a remote or rural area, but in an urban town in Essex. Then there was the interminable wait at A&E. My daughter all the while with him until he was found a bed 14 hours later. She even had to bring his own pillow to A&E as they no longer have their own. My daughter was exhausted after 36 hours without sleep, so after much needed rest and the sorting of toiletries and clothes for her father, she went back to the hospital to find he had passed an hour before she arrived. Despite his low blood pressure and other issues, his actual cause of death remains unclear. Although there are no signs of injury, there is a possibility that he may have fallen while trying to get out of bed and went into cardiac arrest. He was due for a CT scan and so was found by staff quite soon. But hopefully the coroner may order an autopsy and that will provide some certainty. My ex was a slightly-built, 69-year old curmudgeon. He was riddled with osteoporosis, and quite possibly cancer. And though he had neglected his own health, especially after his long term girlfriend had died earlier in the year, he was also neglected by the system who either failed to act on his problems, which had often been highlighted by my eldest son, or just dismissed and ignored altogether. This is not just a disgrace, its a crime. I am now 66 and have multiple mobility issues in most of my joints. Some because of the medical negligence I suffered as a child back in the 70s, and the rest because of the gradual and deliberate decimation of the NHS. As a result, I am seriously sh*t-scared of going anywhere near the medical profession in this country! In that sense, I too am neglecting my own health, but the fear of letting the so-called medical professionals, especially in a hospital, anywhere near me is just too great! I know that most of the medical staff do an incredible job under most relatively dire circumstances, but its not enough. There is insufficiently trained and qualified staff, beds and equipment. There is a total lack of understanding from the hospital suits who govern the finances of any given hospital in the UK, despite being paid obscene amounts themselves. And people like my ex, and me if I let them, are at their mercy, which is either in very short supply or doesn't exist at all. EVERY MP in EVERY UK government should hang their head in utter shame. RIP to all who have recently passed, and blessings and confort to their families. 😔🙏⚖️🙏🕊️
Start fasting two days a week. I do Mon and Thurs. Modern living doesn't allow the body to naturally heal anymore. On fasting days have tea or coffee or herbal teas, milk allowed, no sugar. Your body will move into ketosis and allow it to heal inflammation. I'm 61 and will try to continue this for the rest of my life.
I agree that the NHS should not cause problems, but I don't think it is sustainable at its present cost, and apparently the managers have saved it a lot of money. Without them, stupid things happen, like it paying 20x the real cost for things, as suppliers rip it off. I also don't think it should keep babies alive who've been born with their hearts outside their chest, etc. This breeds horrific illness into humanity. I think it should do more basic things, and do them well.
Totally. I see a lot more sewage trucks that have to run from locally newly built estates. It’s time to make the developers pay for new builds and the impact on the water table.

Working with governmental organisations such as DEFRA and the Environment Agency is frustrating and eye opening with there lack of knowledge on impacts, there lack of transparency and these bodies should be named and shamed IMO for having little to no concern for the environment.

Talk to any representative from these bodies and they make up outrageous stories just to cover there lack of research and scientific work.
My water company is half owned by the family of a Malaysian billionaire who set up YTL and sets aside 19% of my water bill for debt restructuring. I dont think he gives a shit, unlike the rivers that seem full of it, that they are paid to manage on our behalf. Another bill we should just stop paying.👍
I've never paid water rates in my life and I'm in my 50s.. they can't cut you off. Just change the name of who lives their with water company every few months and ignore any letters 👍😋
the government will still automatically allow water companies to make direct deductions from wages or benefits for unpaid water bills without the need for a CCJ

The filter won't remove all pathogens. I'm immune suppressed and my doctors advise me to boill all drinking water when I'm in England or near the English border. I live in the northern isles of Scotland and the water out of our tap is absolutely pristine, because water in Scotland belongs to the people not a foreign pension fund or Blackrock.
I go swimming in the river often, and i can say that they still discharge illegaly without even notifying the proper channels such as polution trackers etc. How can you pay out dividents on a company that isint making money? Stick them all in jail and seize their assets to pay for the upgrades!
@@scotty8482 So why is nobody talking about the famers who pollute more than the water companies do. Because they all eat the animal 'products' they produce. Hypocrites.
There is simply too much sewage for our aging infrastructure... ask those who work in the sector. It is not as though people are deliberately choosing to dump waste just for fun. They are run-offs and spills. Why is there ever increasing amounts of sewage from a country that has had an ever shrinking native population for 20ish years? I wonder... You cannot explode the population of a tiny island and expect no negative consequences.
If increasing population then the productivity should increase, therefore more to invest in infrastructure and stop this sewerage issue. But they'd rather pocket the profit, so in effect they are deliberately doing this.
Im a surfer and travel all around the UK enjoying my passion for the last 25 years. Usually in the crisp and clean waters of Thurso. I quickly realised the problem surfing south of the border with rancid stench and stinging eyes so I looked into it. Thatcher privatised English water implemented through the water act 1989 selling 10 publicly owned regional water companies to private companies. In comparison 'Scottish water' a publicly owned company has grown into the envy of europe with clean flowing rivers and minimal discharge rates. Our tap water is second to none. The english people need to OWN THE WATER!
Those running water companies should face 10 year jail terms in relation to sewage discharges. Unless that comes to pass, the sewage dumping will continue!

i am a 51 yr old fella, when i was younger aged 8-13 i used to drink out of streams and lakes.. i couldnt do that now.. i use a distiller on my tap water.. i wish i could get the leftover sludge tested.. £650 a year for toxic water that i have to use electric to filter it..
I havent paid my bill for 3 years. Southern water have stopped sending me demands. Ive stated many times im not funding the destruction of my local waterways. I cant use my local beaches or eat any fish I catch.
This is really outrageous! Why are they being allowed to continue to do this.. I thought we lived in a democracy. This issue could not be more clear to have the whole public behind it.. something has to be done about it.
Our water,energy and waste as well as trains transport etc should never have been privatised. A country should always be in control of the basics for life including farming,production and our military. To sub it out is to blame bvite disaster! 😮

I wonder why there's so much sewage these days? Anything to do with the fact that there are over 80million people in the UK, the majority crammed into large cities?
Our waterworks haven't been improved for many decades, You would think the Governments would be smart enough to understand: More people = more sh*t = need for improvements in sewage
everyone was laughing when Alex told pollutants make frogs "gay' and i called him stupid conspyracy theorist 😅 Now it's scientifically proven what all the chemicals in the rivers mess up hormones and development😄
Think about why the water system is stretched. How many of the water works have been taken above operational capabilities? Pretty sure the Gov waived things like that being considered to get more houses built, and palms get greased to get these housing projects aloud aswell, thats where the main issue is with the water.
I don’t know if it helps but you should filter your tap water before drinking as a precaution. If nothing else it tastes better and stops your kettle furring up
its been going on too long now,avonmouth bristol has a power plant 200 metres from the edge of severn bridge! comes equiped with its own pipeline spewing god khows what into the sea.
It’s not a planned destruction of a waterways and oceans. It’s caused by 50+ years of investment into the sewage infrastructure that is not proportionate to population growth and the development of urban areas. A lot of our sewage networks were designed (over a 100 years ago) to take both rain and black water from houses. Sadly this design no longer works as we have concreted everything so everything runs directly into the sewage network rather than into fields. This combined with increased sewage volumes caused by population growth and more extreme weather is what’s causing the devastation. To get out of this mess, it’s important the government keeps regulations tight and pressure is sustained on the water companies from the public to ensure they continue investing in the infrastructure to bring it up to the standard that it needs to be at it to cope with high volumes of rain water. Please, as the public we can help in small ways to not cause further damage by ensuring we don’t abuse the sewerage network by discarding wet wipes and other non perishable items in the toilet as these will NEVER breakdown and only cause damage to the network and sewage treatment works.
@@bengilkes7676As you can see I was intentionally addressing pollution from water companies but yes you’re dead right, there are many industries including agriculture causing this.
You should look into the adding of fluoride into our drink water, although some fluoride is natural the stuff that is added comes from the fertiliser industry. Natural calcium fluoride is considered insoluble (to 8-10 ppm fluoride maximum depending on water pH). But industrial synthetic fluorides are fully soluble and are all toxic calcium chelators.
I really want to try sea sports but can't risk getting infections as i now have low immunity n my body attacks itself. Disgusted how Ofwat n companies allowed to pollute, especially fresh water routes. Until politicians are banned from holding position as a board member, theyll keep taking bribes.
Excellent video Joe 👍 Sadly it seems the powers that be are obsessed with the mythical Net Zero, furthermore water companies privatised (which even if it wasn't, this crap would still happen). Weston-super-Mare is an example of badly run town managed by a weak council and MP lobbied by extremists of Net Zero, trans lobby or Islamism.
love your work that you are doing on the environment and other critical issues. wish tha similar actions could be undertaken on an european level as our seas and rivers are interconnected.
As a course fisherman that enjoyed the sport from the age of 4yrs on banks of river lea now 60yrs I left uk because of drastic changes of water quality 90s so moved over sea when 9/11 smelt a rat? so could not take the changes moved completely and have never looked back? But have been told that it has got even worse? by old friends that lived for fishing but no longer go?

This is really outrageous! Why are they being allowed to continue to do this.. I thought we lived in a democracy. This issue could not be more clear to have the whole public behind it.. something has to be done about it.
Been sick for four days with a bacterial infection from swimming down Kynance of all places. Always thought the water was pretty clean here 😤
Most likely the place you swam is close to an animal farm and you are sick from the 'run off'.
@@bengilkes7676 You really love running coverage for the water companies and blaming farmers don't you.
It's everyone's responsibility, please don't flush personal use items
Try telling that to out din#£ghy guests.
How sad that people are SOOOOOOOOO CORRUPT. They need to go.
So true..but all we do is moan online.

What else can you do when 80% of the people are sleeping, you first have to complain for a very long time.
very good timing with the Netflix doco The shopping conspiracy. People are waking up and you are helping. Thanks, great info. x
Our water,energy and waste as well as trains transport etc should never have been privatised. A country should always be in control of the basics for life including farming,production and our military. To sub it out is to blame bvite disaster! 😮
The rivers and waterways in uk are one of the most polluted in Europe
Brexit bonus
Thanks Joe, very useful info.
@ferghalsharkey has been highlighting this for years, lake Windermere clean water petition has been going for the last four years, up and down the country people have been shouting about this for years.
And we’re still worse off.
Great video Joe !
@JoeFish Please Report on AGENDA 30 I hope you do 🙏❤️
YES PLEASE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE WEFS AGENDA 2030 AND IT SHOULD BE ALL THE MSM IS TALKING ABOUT, IT JUST SHOWS THEY HAVE ALL BEEN BOUGHT.
I HAD A DIP IN A RIVER, NEVER AGAIN, I SPENT 24 HOURS IN FEVER, DELEARIUM, AND EXOCIST STREAMING FROM BOTH ENDS, ALL 5 FRIENDS WERE ALL EFFECTED THE SAME
What river ? Where? Glad you recovered.
And all the time, the shareholders are screwing millions out of the population. That is the worst aspect of this.
Who's paying the animal farmers to put all their filth into the waterways though?
Tis the Tory way - was ever thus.
I wonder why there's so much sewage these days? Anything to do with the fact that there are over 80million people in the UK, the majority crammed into large cities?
Sickening. Profit before people.
Sadly we live in a society that puts MONEY before humanbeings.
Scotland is doing pretty well. When you say British you should really say England...
Hope Scotland stays clean and hopefully uphill
Heartily laughed at the drugs being found in the water ways. Britain has been a pharma-empire since Elizabeth the first.
Great reporting Joe; dogs have died at Exmouth from the infected seawater
What upgrades have been done to accommodate the 10,000,000 population increase in the last 30 years?
I can't even drink my tap water. It tastes like poo. I put a filter in and it still tastes funny. What are we paying for?
Why anyone still.drinks unfiltered tap water is beyond me. Ladies pease stop flushing anything that isnt loo roll down the toilet. 🙏🏻
People shouldn't flush flushable wipes either. They aren't flushable.
Our waterworks haven't been improved for many decades, You would think the Governments would be smart enough to understand: More people = more sh*t = need for improvements in sewage
You ever consider, they want a "s+++ show*?
Just a fraction of the serious problems this country is having.
everyone was laughing when Alex told pollutants make frogs "gay' and i called him stupid conspyracy theorist 😅
Now it's scientifically proven what all the chemicals in the rivers mess up hormones and development😄
The water companies should be nationalised. Immediately. International corporation's, kicked out. We are being ripped off.
What a legend, massive problem with algae growth especially in northern Ireland
Worthing this year was awful! I couldn't even stand the smell and had to leave the beach.
Think about why the water system is stretched.
How many of the water works have been taken above operational capabilities?
Pretty sure the Gov waived things like that being considered to get more houses built, and palms get greased to get these housing projects aloud aswell, thats where the main issue is with the water.
I use a water distiller started in 2021 works great. The water you get from the distiller is 0.00ppm nice and clean.
distilling can take out the minerals that are good for you though.
@@ljones2087 What about 5% from water. Get your minerals from good food and Celtic sea salt.
I don’t know if it helps but you should filter your tap water before drinking as a precaution. If nothing else it tastes better and stops your kettle furring up
Excellent video Joe keep up the good work!
its been going on too long now,avonmouth bristol has a power plant 200 metres from the edge of severn bridge! comes equiped with its own pipeline spewing god khows what into the sea.
The problem is we're just too kind to the corporates and political elites
It’s not a planned destruction of a waterways and oceans.
It’s caused by 50+ years of investment into the sewage infrastructure that is not proportionate to population growth and the development of urban areas. A lot of our sewage networks were designed (over a 100 years ago) to take both rain and black water from houses. Sadly this design no longer works as we have concreted everything so everything runs directly into the sewage network rather than into fields. This combined with increased sewage volumes caused by population growth and more extreme weather is what’s causing the devastation.
To get out of this mess, it’s important the government keeps regulations tight and pressure is sustained on the water companies from the public to ensure they continue investing in the infrastructure to bring it up to the standard that it needs to be at it to cope with high volumes of rain water.
Please, as the public we can help in small ways to not cause further damage by ensuring we don’t abuse the sewerage network by discarding wet wipes and other non perishable items in the toilet as these will NEVER breakdown and only cause damage to the network and sewage treatment works.
What about animal agiculture?
@@bengilkes7676As you can see I was intentionally addressing pollution from water companies but yes you’re dead right, there are many industries including agriculture causing this.
You should look into the adding of fluoride into our drink water, although some fluoride is natural the stuff that is added comes from the fertiliser industry.
Natural calcium fluoride is considered insoluble (to 8-10 ppm fluoride maximum depending on water pH). But industrial synthetic fluorides are fully soluble and are all toxic calcium chelators.
Why should we pay the high water rates to a company failing standards so utterly?
I can only imagine where the dirty water is coming from...
There must be people near there or something.
Good for you for covering this 💕
This just shows you have privatisation works then and more of it should be allowed till there’s nothing left but shit
I really want to try sea sports but can't risk getting infections as i now have low immunity n my body attacks itself. Disgusted how Ofwat n companies allowed to pollute, especially fresh water routes. Until politicians are banned from holding position as a board member, theyll keep taking bribes.
This Cocktail goes 7 years round britan...
Another brilliant and enlightening video, thank you Joe and keep up the great work, you are an inspiration, take care buddy 😊
Its disgusting and a disgrace... and look at how much we pay for it! Thanks mate really good journalism ❤
If you take meds or have had at night out 😉, Pee in your neighbors garden... or your own, if you have to...
It’s a rhetorical point but it makes you wonder where all the money is going. Cos it’s obviously not going into improving services
The you know who's and their minion dogs.
Water companies should be nationalised not ran for profit , why is Thames water 25% owned by Canadian companies 🤨
Excellent video Joe 👍 Sadly it seems the powers that be are obsessed with the mythical Net Zero, furthermore water companies privatised (which even if it wasn't, this crap would still happen). Weston-super-Mare is an example of badly run town managed by a weak council and MP lobbied by extremists of Net Zero, trans lobby or Islamism.
So animal agriculture causes no pollution? Where do you think the piss and shit from millions of animals goes?
love your work that you are doing on the environment and other critical issues. wish tha similar actions could be undertaken on an european level as our seas and rivers are interconnected.
This is a cause I can get behind. Thanks for the info Joe
Time for HONEST lawyers to step up to the PLATE and sue the government....and private companies directly to jail...!!!!
Thank you for bringing this to light!
GEOENGINEERING needs to stop
This doesn't surprise me at all .they privatise it so all they want is ever bigger profits .
We have to pay for this, twice. No one is in prison.
What about the animal farmers? Where does all their piss and shit go?
@@bengilkes7676gets sprayed on your vegetables just like the human shite
@@bengilkes7676 Blaming the farmers again, do you get paid by the water companies to spread your nonsense?
Filter out the private companies!!
Thanks for highlighting this ❤
Another great insight, such an underrated channel and journalist.
As a course fisherman that enjoyed the sport from the age of 4yrs on banks of river lea now 60yrs
I left uk because of drastic changes of water quality 90s so moved over sea when 9/11 smelt a rat?
so could not take the changes moved completely and have never looked back?
But have been told that it has got even worse? by old friends that lived for fishing but no longer go?
That's essential Thatcher era privatization con.
Shareholder profits above the public good, both financial and health.
In a country full of lawyers- where are all of the environmental lawsuits? The government- local and national- only fear expensive lawsuits -
