This weekend, thousands of people participated in “paddle out” protests across the UK to voice their anger at UK’s “sewage scandal”.
In events organised by the campaign group Surfers Against Sewage, people took to UK beaches, rivers, and lakes to demand water industry reform. The campaign group’s angst against water companies has been brewing for a number of years, with thousands of open-water swimmers now calling for change to protect UK waters from the mismanagement of water companies.
