Would you feel safe swimming in British waterways this summer?
Transcript
00:00Would you feel safe swimming in British waterways this summer?
00:03No, not at all, not at all. I think you'd have to go abroad to have a swim to be honest with you,
00:07leave the country. Well that's disgusting, I didn't know it was that bad to be honest.
00:11But people are still putting stuff down the toilet and using wipes and putting them down
00:15the toilet and not doing what they should be doing. If they weren't so lazy maybe they could help it.
00:20Probably not, I mean I swam, we're all at uni in Cambridge and we all swam
00:25in the River Cam last week just to celebrate but we're all aware that it's full of E.coli and it's
00:31a bit of, like you want to do it because it's a nice thing to do and it's fun but you shouldn't
00:36be having to think about getting E.coli when you go for a swim. Let people have normal water and
00:40be able to go to the beach and swim and have a nice summer and stop charging a fortune as well
00:45for water, drop the prices. If you can't provide us with clean water then like the government should
00:51nationalise you because you're not doing your job properly. Water is one of the basic
00:56necessities for life so you shouldn't be just without clean water.
