      Unfortunately I don’t think it was done deliberately in protest, I think it’s just more incompetence and greed from the water services. I read the title that way as well but the article is talking about the amount of spillages theyve had into the rivers

    They need to move on from leaders’ figurative doorsteps and focus on emptying sewage onto their literal doorsteps.

    That might hurry things along a little.
