Rainbow sewage release
Focus, Thames Water. FOCUS.
Thames Water, which is heavily in debt and has just been fined for a sewage release that was devastating to aquatic life, has been installing Pride-themed drain covers across southern England so that 'LGBTQ+ members of the public can feel seen and valued' https://t.co/s8OYLlljuM

I’m guessing the trans colours are on the underside then? Or maybe down inside the pipes themselves? that would be appropriate.
What’s impressive about this one is that I don’t think ANYBODY wants it (except maybe the creepy breastfeeding fetishist). Any “LGBTQ members of the public” who live in the Thames Water catchment area want the same two things as everybody else living there: an end to the raw sewage discharges in the rivers and sea, and a reduction in the frankly exorbitant water bills.
I don’t know how much pride someone could take from having their colors cover a SEWER. Filled with SEWAGE.
They do this sort of thing in order to appear ‘nice & ‘tolerant’, which they are not. Though they are very tolerant when it comes to keeping top managers & shareholders happy and pumping raw sewage into rivers and seas.
How about rainbow-coloured dunny paper “so that ‘LGBTQ+ members of the public can feel seen and valued” even more.? To match the rainbow-coloured sewer cover outside or down the street or wherever.? Should be a smash-hit. (Or should that be a ‘splash-hit?’)
I expect residents will be happy to pay a surcharge for multi-colored dye injectors so that the next sewage discharge into the Thames comes out rainbow-colored.
