For any NGO that is upset it may be well worth getting a waste guru (not me, as haven’t done a landfill or waste case for about 10y) to have a good pick over!

Leachate is horrid stuff, particularly as landfills have less and less organic material. As a waste product there would need to be licensed handling, waste transfer notices, licensed disposal etc.

I don’t know the answer off the top of my head, but I suspect there is either an EA policy and consents authorising this (in which case it may be challenged by JR) or there are not, in which case, leachate being “waste” for the relevant regs, there may be potential criminal consequences.

What is the point in regulating leachate in a landfill permit (v strict control because of the dangers it poses to human life and environment if it escapes) only to allow it to be mixed with sewage in a plant that cannot treat its pollutants & then spread on land, only to leach into the watercourse?

The failure to provide a duty solicitor., who if worth their salt would have sorted this out, is a sadly common if egregious failing after legal aid cuts…

“She was a blonde who thought the law was cool, she studied it at Harvard Law School” etc etc. Did @barristersecret.bsky.social live tweet it?

Jonathan, not kind. Not kind at all.

U2? Easy listening/MoR Dad rock! One word you don’t use with them - taxing.

Jeeesh, that’s some potent bat shit.

And I thought you would have gone down the “gooseberry, raspberry” route…!

I cannot argue with that. But it reflects most consumer behaviour I fear. I mean “Yellow tail”.

That, and BC.

Prohibition as a natural experiment? I do agree that the distinct taste profiles of whisky, whiskey, bourbon and rye bring a very distinct following given the stylistic segregation. But 200% tariffs is a hell of a SNIPS test…
