Oops looks like we made one mistake when we went to Thames Water HQ to citizen’s arrest their CEO on Tuesday! 💩

The guy we snapped talking to Thames Valley Police is not Chris Weston, he’s actually their chief legal officer. 🤷‍♀️

Hey so yesterday Thames Water asked us to remove all photos of our visit to their HQ from our website, and the whole internet, by 5pm.

We would like to ask Chris Weston, on the record, to remove all the shit from our waterways.

How about by 5pm today Chris?

An intriguing, powerful new tactic on the frontline against polluters - citizen's arrest. This well-considered action, based on sound legal principles, requires police to review factual dossiers with evidence of wrongdoing. Activists doing what politicians should ✊️👏💚 #citizensarrest #thameswater
