Labour literally cleaning up the tories’ mess.
I want every nation in the world to adopt laws like this.
This is the Environment Act 2021, drawn up while the tories were still in power.
It is not a win.
We don't actually need new laws. There are already existing mechanisms for holding the directors of companies criminally responsible for damage and death they cause. Its not new laws we need its the existing ones enforced and done so not just against the water companies but any company that is harming the environment and people or committing other criminal acts.
Beware new laws! we already have industry and environmental regulation overlapping with general laws. Lack of enforcement is the problem
Do any of those laws already on the books threaten management with jail time?
what do prisons achieve?
Big bosses will do anything to avoid prison ... even follow laws.
That's what prisons achieve in this context.
Ah, i see. build empty prisons as a deterrent to the rich. brilliant! simply brilliant!
Does the UK not have any prisons? Really??
I know they do, so why build any more?? The bosses can do their time in gen pop, just like anyone else.
Interestingly, it seems the last government were sitting on a massive prison overcrowding crisis, and there is now talk of sending prisoners to Estonian prisons to ease it.
To be honest, I'd imagine that'd be an even stronger deterrent for these pissbags. I can't imagine an Estonian prison being very accommodating!
Deterrence.
BTW, are we allowed to talk about the national capacity for 60M poopies per day vs the actual load of 90M ?
our birthrate drops. young adults emigrate. some old people die while others retire abroad. And yet, we're 30M poopies/day overcapacity. why? nobody nose! it's a mysteron!
This sounds like dogwhistling?
What are you implying.
Do i have to spell it out? it can only mean one thing. they aren't abroad and they aren't dead. Which means they must be underground, kept alive in a coma. their bodies used as orgone-energy batteries to power the quantum thingy. look, i don't have much time. you'll have to trust me... oh no, they can see us. run!
Problems like these are solved by expanding supply. It doesn’t really work to reduce demand.
wait a minute. are we talking gross domestic poopie? or poopie per capita?
water bosses
Why is the AP writing as if their audience are children? I understand it from the Mirror.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
