Well, this is nothing short of a national embarrassment. Saturday’s Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge was marred by sewage.
The captain acknowledged that he had been vomiting earlier in the morning and that a handful of his teammates were “down pretty bad” with the E. Coli virus. He told the BBC everything, obviously disturbed by the waste around their boats.
A number of our troops have succumbed to the E. Coli strain quite severely. I wasn’t sure whether I would get a chance to be in the boat because I was throwing up this morning, but I kept that secret in the end, and that’s my responsibility.

Water corporations have been freely disposing of sewage for the past few years, and not much has been done to stop this environmental disaster. Rivers like The Thames have become extremely polluted due to a lack of responsibility.
Additionally, it has come to light that sewage was purportedly poured into the Thames at multiple locations during the Saturday Boat Race. Feargal Sharkey, a campaigner, was furious over everything.
