Had a conversation on here the other day about UK tap water. My father was a water treatment engineer and he always used a secondary source of purification. Anyway, here’s a new map from the Drinking Water Inspectorate.

Demographic changes in the UK mean that support for rejoining the EU is increasing at 1.3% per annum, and is likely to reach 77% by 2035. This excellent article was published yesterday, the day the author, Paul Willner - a fantastic pro-EU campaigner - died unexpectedly. RIP, Paul.
