Our family are all keen on water sports; my husband kayaks and windsurfs, our daughter and her family are regular paddleboarders, our eldest son is an open water swimmer (sea and river), and our youngest son is a keen snorkeller. We live within throwing distance of a river and the sea is a ten minute walk away.
My local MP has publicly bemoaned the state of water pollution and had photo ops on beach cleans etc. - and yet voted with the government against the much needed protections for our rivers and seas. As far as I’m concerned this is evidence of his hypocrisy and a shameful lack of integrity.
