... and finally they came for the water users!

The BBC wheel out their fakecharity template article.

1. There's a "should" in the headline, repeated in the first sentence, which is a signal that what you are about to read is complete fabricated bollocks.

2. Then there are some rent-a-quotes from the National Trust, RSPB and World Wildlife Fund etc.

3. It rounds off with a government spokesman agreeing that "more must be done".

So far so good.

Now, I can understand Them going for smokers, drinkers, fatties, skinnies, gamblers, pornographers etc, because those are all minorities; They launch occasional skirmishes against car drivers, but they are the majority so it's half-hearted at best; but what makes Them think they can humiliate water users? That's all of us, surely? Even tramps have to visit public toilets or take the occasional communal shower in a drop-in centre or something.

PS, water is indeed "a precious resource" but there is no lack of the physical substance itself; the cost is collecting it, storing it, purifying and pumping it.
