A sewage campaign, with inflatable reminders of what waste water contains, goes to Buckinghamshire.

Inflatable poo emojis have been placed next to a Buckinghamshire river in protest against a water company asking for leniency over pollution rules.

The campaign group, We Own It, said the plan was part of a deal to settle billions of pounds worth of Thames Water’s debts.

It wants the company to be brought into public ownership.
