        Mass immigration means areas of Britain face running out of drinking water
  in
    just ten years, ministers have warned. Fears over shortages have forced
    Environment Secretary Steve Reed to seize control of the planning
system and
    push through two new giant reservoirs.
        The emergency projects in East Anglia and Lincolnshire have been declared
    "nationally significant", stripping local authorities of the power to stop
    them. New laws will also fast-track all future reservoirs, cutting red
tape,
    as Britain races to keep the taps on.
        The Government admitted rapid population growth, crumbling infrastructure
  and
    climate pressure are all pushing the country towards a water supply
crisis.
    Net migration has halved over the past year to 431,000-- but only after
    hitting a record 906,000 in 2023.
        Water Minister Emma Hardy said: "Britain is running out of drinking water.
  We
    are taking these unprecedented steps to get reservoirs built and secure
our
    drinking water supplies for the decades to come."
        The Lincolnshire reservoir, south of Sleaford, will pump out 166 million
    litres a day, enough for 500,000 homes or 664 million cups of tea, and the
    Fens reservoir, near Chatteris and March, Cambridgeshire, will supply
    87million litres to 250,000 homes in Britain's driest region. Thousands of
    homes in areas such as Cambridge and north Sussex are blocked from being
  built
    owing to water shortages and a dry spring has already depleted reservoirs.
    Haweswater in Cumbria is so low the outline of a village flooded to create
  it
    in 1939 has been revealed.
        The two new reservoirs are part of a wider plan to create nine new sites,
    supplying an extra 670million litres of water a day across England.
       

  They could save a LOT of money by deporting the new arrivals back to
  their home countries (or other "safe" countries). The pressure on the
  water supply would lessen, the enormous expense of housing them in posh
  hotels and giving them all kinds of social benefits would be cut and the
  resentment of native Brits that the new arrivals had it a lot better
  than they do would vanish. But hey, it's more important to be
  "non-racist" so they spend hundreds of millions of pounds to build new
  reservoirs.

  What's next? Desalination plants when the reservoirs can't keep up with
  demand?

    No, you can't build those-- at least not in California-- because that would
  solve the water problem and take away the 'drought is climate change'
  boogeyman from the politicians. If we had plentiful drinking water and
  fire-fighting water, they couldn't control us as easily. So we're told that
  despite living right next to trillions of gallons of water, and despite them
  working in countries all over the world, desalination plants are a no-go
  because a fish or a snail might get sucked into the intake pipe and have a
bad
  day.
 

Somebody should look up how many species have already gone extinct in
the 4.5 billion years since this planet formed and share that
information with the California legislature.

 Waste of time. They don't care. They just *say* they care because it gives
them power over us. Power and control is the real goal here. Do you honestly
think Gavvy Newsom cares about some ugly mudfish flopping about in the Central
Valley? Of course not. But he does care about the power that mudfish gives him
over everyone that lives there.
 

That little ember of idealism I have left wants to argue with you but I've had enough exposure to reality to know that you're right. The leftist politicians just use environmentalism, feminism, racial sensitivities, etc. to acquire and exercise power for their own aggrandizement. They have no principles beyond that. (And rightist politicians are largely the same; they just use different levers, like religious fundamentalism, anti-immigrant sentiment, etc. to motivate THEIR voters.)
As a wise man once said, politicians need to be changed often like diapers - and for the same reason.
