David and Samantha Cameron have unwittingly been swimming at a beauty spot tainted by raw sewage.

The chillaxing PM and his wife have enjoyed a daily swim off Polzeath in Cornwall on one of their three summer family holidays - unaware that untreated human effluent was flowing into the beauty spot.

South West Water has warned the excrement was being pumped into the sea due to the heavy rain on Sunday morning and Wednesday afternoon.

“Surfing in Sewerage”

Great name for either a Punk Rock Band,

Or an analogy for the state of malaise in which we find ourselves these days.

OK. They caused so many older cities with older sewer systems to build massive, and expensive, holding tunnels for water overflow for the half dozen times a year that it rains too hard for the system to handle all the water and raw sewage, some, overflows into the water system where it dissipates over the next couple days.

Of course, when I asked at the local meeting “what exactly do the fish and animals do in that water every day?’ I was ignored.

How is that different from a session of Parliament?

[G Larry]

and that is different than addressing the House of Commons how?

It used to be that bad here!
