Over 15,000 protesters rallied in London for the ‘Clean Water March’, criticizing the UK’s sewage system, which has led to 450,000 instances of untreated wastewater discharge into rivers in the past year. The protests spotlight the aging Victorian sewer infrastructure and the failures of water privatization, which has resulted in monopolistic practices and inadequate environmental protections. Frustrated citizens, including fishermen, express anger over health risks and ecological decline. A petition for renationalizing water services has garnered over 300,000 signatures, but experts warn of potential costs exceeding £80 billion.
