Why do politicians do this knowing full well they wouldn’t and can easily be brought up on it? This is a galactically wide open goal for Reform to press upon.
Well, I would as well. It’s much better to swim in waters that has treated water than waters that haven’t been treated (i.e sewage). With our combined sewer system overflowing regularly, we need more waste water treatment plants to clean sewage.
I also want to point out that as part of the treatment process, all solid waste is sieved away, flocculants are used to remove suspended particles, membrane bioreactors are used to remove excess nutrients in the water and UV water treatment is used to kill bacteria. Waste water treatment plants are pretty comprehensive.
>Pressed whether he would swim in the Thames at Teddington, Mr Reed said: “I would. People do.”
The word “*would*” doing a nice bit of noncommital heavy lifting there.
Put your money where your mouth is, or shut the aforementioned mouth.
With the amount bodies dumped in there, I wouldn’t touch it with a 10ft pole.
My understanding is that treated sewage is OK to swim in but you should avoid uh drinking it in any great amount.
Put your money where your mouth is then. Enjoy your ecoli.
You missed the next part of the text.
“Pressed whether he would swim in the Thames at Teddington, Mr Reed said: “I would. People do.”
So again, I fail to see how you can interpret Reeds comments relating to swimming exclusively in treated water and not the Thames itself. How did you come to the conclusion that’s what he intended?
The article isn’t supportive of your interpretation at all, in fact Reed says the opposite.
Actions speak louder than words. He should get his trunk on and give us a giggle.
He should then perhaps put his money where his mouth is!
