Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

It was actually quite hard to find stats, because immigrants' (sorry, expats') votes count within their home constituency, but the FT did a poll before the brexit vote and 73% intended to vote remain in that

I'm sure I've mentioned this before but in the invasion panics of WWI plans were extremely quickly drawn up to repel a German invasion either up the south bank of the Thames from a landing in Medway or up from a broad-fronted landing along the south coast[1]. The final line of defence was to be the Thames itself, and the defence would take the form of massive poison gas shelling from north of the river[2]. What I'm saying is that the SE London goons are already involved in the plans to defend God's side of the river, just maybe not in the way they might be expecting.

[1] This would of course have been even more impossible than Sealion with the technology and logistics available at the time, but the press (the Mail in particular, quelle surprise) had been hyping up fears of invasion for decades at this point (War Of The Worlds is the best known example of what was a huge industry of invasion paranoia media and I'd be genuinely fascinated to read if anyone's ever done a proper history of that genre and the forces that led to it), and the entire public and a big chunk even of the military brass who knew the impossibility of invasion were absolutely convinced the Germans would somehow just keep building trenches across the Channel until they were digging up Piccadilly.
[2] This was taken seriously enough that every once in a while they find stashes of mustard gas shells just laying around by the river, because they apparently were in such a loving hurry nobody thought to note where they'd put all the poisons and by 1918 everyone was so jazzed to get those homes fit for heroes that nobody bothered to even count and go "Hey we're missing enough poison gas to kill Stevenage, maybe someone should take a look?".

If those 400 odd surveyed expats were FT readers, then they would be more clued up to the realities of Brexit, and the 73% in favour of remaining probably wouldn't be mirrored in samples that contained Mail or Express readers.

Because it's cheaper than treating it. They're blaming post-Brexit difficulty in obtaining chemicals but chemical treatment of sewage is last-line, every other measure has failed, stuff (almost all sewage in the UK is treated by sedimentation and filtering, with most big plants also doing digestion with bacteria to both render the sludge basically harmless and also produce biogas to fuel the plants).

There can be times when circumstances beyond the control of the sewage plant make this impossible (massive rains after a prolonged dry spell being the most common) and the choice is either dump partially-treated sewage into the river or let untreated sewage back up into houses) but if you don't bother upgrading your sewage plants as the population grows then those circumstances get more and more common, and just dumping it and taking the fines - which are cheaper than upgrading - is the way that the relentless logic of the Glorious Free Market sends you. If you then have an opportunity to get your chums from Eton to let you off even those fines, well of course you take it.

Going to guess that instead of building the local infrastructure to process it, they instead just started ferrying it out to other countries to deal with, much like recycling. Now they can't do it easily, and have a huge backlog, into the sea it goes.
