Nobheads

 

 

It seems that it is becoming  impossible for me  to go anywhere without encountering the handy work of some chemical dumping nobheads. It’s one thing about dumping toxic waste that ends up poisoning birds at a site and another to have some idiot dumping containers of dangerous chemicals down some backend alley.

Whilst out and about I happened to come across two yellow large containers. Funny I thought, hadn’t seen those there before earlier in the week. A chance look back saw my eye clock the corrosive symbol, so I turned back to have a look at what the containers contained- or what they may have contained before being dumped.

Imagine my surprise to find that they contained orthophosphoric acid. Both were full and unopened obviously containing a liquid. But how did it get into this location and what fool had dumped it there? At this point I wish to stress that it obviously wasn’t Rhodia/ Solvay as it wasn’t spilt.

So in the spirit of doing the right thing and reporting it to the environment agency incident hotline, a Freephone number but not on a mobile, and because it was not very far away from a watercourse, I thought they might be interested in getting there to remove it from out of the environment. I should have known better by now based on my experience with this useless quango. They were not interested at all.

“I’ll pass it on to the council, it’s not the sort of thing we deal with.”

SO WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU FUCKING DEAL WITH? If this chemical was spilt would you deal with it then? What if some kid tipped it over themselves, would you deal with it then? If it killed some fish or birds 😥 I know from experience that you certainly wouldn’t then.

Passing it on, passing the buck as usual, and no investigation as to who is dumping this chemical in bulk in the environment- you could not make it up with this agency-they are  useless.
