It Won't Wash

Fish-hugging do-gooders are showing a severe lack of Britishness by wilfully misconstruing the meaning of the realm's new independence from the Euro-wogs. The purpose of Britain's glorious rebellion against the Nazi-Soviet empire of Brusso-Strasbourg was, of course, to help tighten up the rules and ensure that moisture provision profiteers were not short-changed by arbitrary bureaucratic limitations on their ability to poison rivers. Nevertheless, Salmon and Trout Conservation has accused the Secretary of State for the Environment of, if you please, failing to enforce the law; which is a little unfair given that Her Majesty's Government patently has no interest in either the law or the environment. The charity has even complained to the Office for Environmental Protection, as if that august body would ever dream of attempting to prevent water companies discharging their sacred duty.
