We Have to Boil Drinking Water Now | Morning Brew with Phil Moorhouse

- Some in the South West of England have been advised to boil all their water before use because of waterborne diseases being identified. The callous disregard for duty from our privatised water companies means that we not only have raw sewage in our waterways, but it's now in taps as well.
The quality of our drinking water used to be very high, now it's becoming deadly. We're being taken back to medieval times.

What the country has become 2024 is absolutely disgusting.
Years ago we tried to help people in Africa get safe drinking water, they'll need to hold a Live Aid for us in a few more years.
As we were told parts of the South West couldnt drink the water the advert came on asking us to give these other Countrys money because they were drinking DIRTY water... well hey guess what so are we!! They said we were becoming a third world country!!! What did they expect with all the sewage being pumped into our seas and waterways...South West you wont be alone there will be more soon ......Hey Phil manure doesnt usually have sanitary stuff in it!! Ah well tomatoes are red!!!
💯👍
The water companies should pay compensation to those so affected.
So that would be everyone then
They’re offering £15
@@peterscott6818 Big bl___y deal! 😏
I wasn’t saying it was a lot. I meant it was pathetic. It went up to £100 today and it’s still nothing like adequate compensation for having to boil all your water and risk getting ill. SWW have screwed up big time.
They wouldn’t be able to pay massive dividends if they did that..
Privatisation is definitely to blame in the sense that they’re dumping raw sewage to maximise profits. But that’s only part of the story, the main culprit is Brexit!
When UK water companies had to follow EU legislation they didn’t routinely dump raw sewage, it was only allowed in extreme circumstances. Now it’s standard practice.
💯👍
BoJo told them it's fine
@@childoftheuniverse2644 Provided they kept the flow of plain brown envelopes running clean, to him.
Water company's asset stripped, and burrowed to pay dividends and directors huge salaries and bonuses.
Yet more proof (if any is needed) that ALL Utilities should be in public ownership. They should NEVER be used to line the pockets of the few at the expense of the many !
@@willieckaslike 💯💯
Pathetic that the BBC didn't make the connection between sewage and crytospiridium, and they are too rich to even imagine the costs of boiling water...
In medieval times people drank beer because it was safer than the water but in 2024 people can't afford to drink beer.
It's absolutely staggering that we have a national aspiration under Labour to have rivers, and apparently now tap water that's not full of shit. That's the bar we have to set now because infrastructure has become so awful. Mental
💯
On top of the water rates, many have to boil their water for safety. The shareholders of the water companies, are drinking champagne with the money they’ve done nothing to earn.
Sire, the plebs have no drinking water. Let them drink champagne.
Water is a necessity and should be nationalized. Privatization only benefits the owners/investors. Another Conservative success story.
Water companies cannot cut off your water supply by law! They can take you to court!
I do not wish to be poisoned with contaminated water which I am paying £650 a year for .
Stop paying the water company..
Sue them for compensation for extra fuel costs..
No no no, give hefty fines to those bastards in charge of our water companies, and take the money back.
They want to behave like that then we should be able to take the money back
Idgaf if they think it’s theft
They are the ones who have been lying “borrowing’ stealing OUR MONEY
Take it back.
Some people in that area have already been struck down with illness.
I also saw a story from Somerset yesterday that a farmer got 60hrs Community Service and over £15,000 in costs for allowing farm slurry to get into water courses during heavy rain.
I don't understand how he was rightly prosecuted for his negligence yet the water companies can do it on purpose and get paid a bonus.
Indeed! 💯 They should be stripped of their bonuses, like Paula Vennels was of her OBE.
Theres cases of stomach cramping/vomiting etc amongst children paddling in the river in Godalming (Hunt's constituency).
Forgot BREXIT. Bring back the Romans!
They’d certainly sort out the state of the roads!
@@malcolmgordon2988
Indeed.
The water protests in ireland were highly effective in stopping it being privatised a few years back but it was a common cause protest
For people affected, they should be able to get bottled water from the shops but send the bill to the water company. I think the company would sort the issue pretty quick then.
The water companies don't care ,the 1991 water act gives them total immunity from the public taking them to county court to get refund for services not provided and The regulators never enforce anything that could benefit the customers,the whole system is designed for Water company to extract as much from you as possible with no consequences for Water industry
Slight nitpick: The medieval people in these islands did not experience what we now call cholera that didn't arrive on these shores until 1831 with the first case being recorded in Sunderland on 16th October.
Interesting point! 🙂👍
the squad of know-nothings that were shouting "sovereignty", i hope they are satisfied.
King Charles walking through his former Duchee. "How do you know his the King?" Well, he hasn't got shit all over him!
Extract from the government's own Drinking Water Inspectorate's website :
"Water companies must assess the risk of Cryptosporidium in its water sources, and design and continuously operate a water treatment process to remove the parasite or render it inactive.
This is a regulatory requirement, and failure to comply is an offence."
I look forward with interest to the prosecution of South West Water for this offence, but I'm not holding my breath.
Poomatoes have been growing on the coast for a few years now. From the seeds in people's poo washed up on the beaches.
I wonder if they are safe to pick and eat? I should imagine so... 🙂
@oneoflokis Yeah they would be OK to eat, just wouldn't expect them to grow as well/large as usual tomatoes as they aren't in optimal conditions like a greenhouse.
@@moss1066 👍
Several decades ago there was a science program called "Equinox" on UK TV (possibly Channel 4) that analysed various brands of bottled water and tap water. The program found that tap water was much better than all the brands of bottle water except for one brand. The program traced the source of this water to an industrial unit in Birmingham that was bottling tap water and calling it "processed water".!
Peckham Spring 😳
I am loving being from Belfast given we escaped Brexit for the most part and we also don't pay for our water or indeed to we have to boil it !!
Thérèse Coffey's personal supply of shit in our taps. Sunak told her "find out where the poor peoplelive, then shit in thier pipes" he continued "or I'll cut off your supply of lard"
Effing hell how much more serious is this going to get?
Its illegal for them to cut your water off. Hygiene reasons. They will take you to court though.
I think they call those "volunteer tomatoes". 🙂
Boil water and save in flask or cool and then transfer to suitable container in the fridge
That so true . The gas an leccy is so expensive that washing an keeping warm an eating is a luxury so people are left to die . An people think this is not true in this country it is .
I.m waiting for David Attenboroughs' program on the Dung Beatels of Skegness.
The tomatos are not growing becaus of increased fertilization, they are growing because the seeds have passed through someone and been deposited somewhere.
My stepdad said thirty years ago that we’re all “serfs”
Back to the days of "King Cholera".
When it comes to any problem relating to government just remember Diogenes failed.
the government isn't failing public water..it's stimulating the bottled water industry and giving a boost to bars. making k great again 🙂 "business friendly"
Tomato seeds survive passing through the digestive tracked so we’re always found in the solids collected and disposed of from sewage farms. Now, they also are finding their way through the sewage farm processes into our waterways and seas
I've seen pictures if Tomatoes growing on sewage farms!! 🍅🍅 Where are they supposed to grow once the seeds get to sea?? Desert islands?? 🙂🙂
"We're"?
The government don't mind the food parcels, because they still get the vat from them.
For a few months during the late 80s I worked for the Glasgow water department and the water quality was super controlled contiinuosly but it was publically owned. I liked visiting loch Katrine.
Apparently they have found cocaine in shrimps, in some UK waterway.
Proof that Stop & Search is working, according to the Tories !
My friends brew their own mead and live in the south west, so I’m guessing that will their plan for the foreseeable future
It *astonishes* how unbelievably shit we've allowed this country to become under the Tories, but I suppose it's been a war of attrition waged against us. Phil, could you do a Labour policy explainer on social security (proper name for benefits) please?
You got THAT right, Phil!! 😏 (And the point about the extra money for gas/electric.)
I live in the South-West: but not in Brixham, thank goodness!!
So does that mean we are all washing our clothes and kitchen ware in poo water?
I remember when I could confidently say I could drink the water out of pretty much any tap in the UK and not have to worry about my health.
Not anymore.
I remember a TV documemtary, BBC I think, but quite a few years ago now, which compared the qaulity and safety of bottled water. Some of the most famous "spa" water brands had high levels of naturally occuring, but dangerous in excess, chemicals and minerals. 2 or 3 even contained minute levels of pathogens. The purest bottled water they found was bottled in an industrial estate in Manchester, using filtered tap water!. Oh how things have changed.
Maybe Britain can get MrBeast to fund 100 new water wells as he has done in third world Africa. Oh Britain WTF have you become?
Tomatoes grow round sewer works as the seeds go through your system and down the toilet and just grow again
Phil, you should check out the Lancashire Mead Company. Proper traditional mead.
It's disappointing that Labour appears not to wish to re-nationalize Water. If they had the political WILL to do so, it would be easy enough for a Labour Government to enforce PROPER regulations on the Water industry, and when a Water Company fails the criteria set by government, these can be taken back into Public ownership without the need to compensate the shareholders.
It’s already nationalised in Scotland and run as a not for profit in Wales. This is an England problem.
I’m sure Labour will be handing out heavy fines, but I doubt there’s enough money in the pot to actually pay off English water companies.
@@ffotograffydd My point is that if it so wishes, a future Labour government COULD impose far stricter criteria, and if those criteria are not met, then the government would have the legal right to take any given Water company back into state ownership, and the company's rights to financial compensation would be forfeited by default.
@@timelwell7002 I think it’s almost certain that they will impose stricter standards. Then, as Phil explained, they will comply, just as they did when they were under EU legislation. They aren’t going to risk their cash cow.
@@ffotograffydd The problem with allowing public services and utilities to remain in private hands is that there is an inbuilt conflict of interests - ie shareholders DEMAND maximized profits - which are in direct contradiction to running a service for the benefit of the nation.
In Starmer's shoes I would pile on the requirements to the point where the shareholders would be UNABLE to make ANY profit whatsoever under ANY circumstances - and THEN take the water companies back into public ownership.
Sadly, I very musch doubt he will do this, because like Blair before him, Starmer is every bit as committed to Neoliberalism as was Blair, just as much as Thatcher.
@@timelwell7002 OK mate, I thought you were genuinely concerned, but apparently it’s more of an excuse to have a go at Starmer based on what he may or may not do in the future. Got it. 😉
If UK/England hits and even earlier timeframe, viz. King Alfred's, it could even get its Navy back! 😊
Boomers? That was the US. I was born into milk rationing in the UK. It's called "The Post-War Austerity". We didn't have an easy time...
Where have the tomato seeds come from? Passed through someone’s digestive system,of course.
Mogg "I think bottled water is delicious".
If you're thirsty, you can drink water and shit.
Mead's okay, just not Thamesmead...
I avoid bad water by only drinking beer. Workssshhh for meeee
Dont worry ' sunak has a cunning plan 😅
I bet the torys are laughing at this
They're always laughing at us... *all* - we're just mugs to them and it's about time any Tory voter who isn't actually a millionaire realised it.
How much evidence do you need?
Hmmm does Rishi drink tap water or bottled water? And is the bottle made of glass or plastic? And is it sparkling water in the glass bottles? And which country is it sourced from?
not if the tomatoes are contaminated
Literally just heard from a friend who is in Devon, but not the affected area who was in hospital with the classic symptoms of Crypto. Think they had been wild swimming but not in the affected area.
What are the classic symptoms? Attending conferences and posting garbage on social media?
@@blechtic profuse watery diarrhoea, stomach pains, low grade fever. They described it as "cholera-like" diarrhoea which also has classic "rice water" stools.
Not in Scotland 🏴
Or Wales.
Welsh Water we do it better and we always have done compared to aenoish water.
Kentish tomatoes, or potatoes rom the Martian (Film).
Best cherry tomatoes I’ve ever tasted grew on their own out of a mound of human waste the size of a large room on an organic farm school I was volunteering at. It was perfectly safe as the pile has been there for many years but some of the people on the organic farming course were still squeamish about eating them due to the idea of where they’d grown.
Once there is bacteria how the hell do they get rid?
Chlorinate the water?
Third world country after the erg Tory Brexit
Are those tomatoes a Brexit benefit lol 😂
pat use to be fairer in the 60,s. when a company gave pay rises it was the same amount whthever there scale of pay was, ie everyone got £10.00 and over years the same. then they went to % and the higer paid got more every time that the bottom end. So over the years the gap gets bigger and bigger.
I hate will the 2024 beer lane and gin street health promotion be? Drink Milk!!!
I hope someone declares boiling water as being woke
Haha don't give Liz Truss ideas lol😂
The brief line about promoting change citing the poll tax riots is correct. In my entire life of political activism it was the only time something I was part of drove real and immediate change. Why does everyone think the tories are so keen on introducing draconian and authoritarian legislation to restrict protest to meaningless farce? I've marched against war in Iraq, austerity etc, etc, etc but the only time I saw real change and a rightly government actually afraid of the people was the anti poll tax campaign. All the rest has been pointless.
Totally agree regards the description on communism and human nature
So you think capitalism is human nature?
@@bishton I said that I agreed with phil
"Woke water warning"...
Why are you people cracking jokes? FFS, fix up!!
