Wrong Accent, Right Receipts

🎧 Headphones essential.

Rivers. NGOs. Paperwork.

Follow it far enough and you end up in rooms you were never invited into. ⛔

Easy listening. Uncomfortable questions.

🔁 If it hits home, share it.

Dirty Business will make you angry. That’s the point.

Then they’ll offer “Special Administration.”

The money still flows to creditors. Same extraction. New badge.

Don’t fall for the switch.

Water Company False Narratives (4): Blame the Public

Water companies routinely blame sewage pollution on the public.
Wet wipes. Fats. Oils.

This framing shifts responsibility away from system capacity, long-term underinvestment, and engineering failure, and places it onto individual behaviour instead.

Misuse in large populations is predictable.
Robust systems are designed to handle it.

This clip explains why the “blame the public” narrative exists and what it is used to hide.

Water Company False Narratives (3): The Victorian Narrative

The Victorian system isn’t the problem.
Neglect is.

Water companies blame Victorian infrastructure for sewage pollution.

This clip explains why that claim is false and how decades of underinvestment, not history, created the crisis.

From the People Vs Sewage podcast with Ashley Smith and Paul Powlesland.
