Feargal Sharkey heeft onthuld dat hij vorig jaar de diagnose prostaatkanker kreeg. De Noord-Ierse zanger en milieuactivist, bekend van de hit A Good Heart, deelt met de Britse krant Daily Express dat zijn gezondheidsprobleem inmiddels is "opgelost", maar dat hij andere mannen oproept om zich te laten testen.

Feargal Sharkey at number one for a second and final week with "A good heart". We're treated to the video clip in full, featuring that fierce woman drummer.

I believe I'm required to point out how "A good heart" was written by Maria McKee about her breakup with Benmont Tench.
Feargal Sharkey's follow-up single, "You little thief", was written by Benmont Tench about his breakup with Maria McKee.
Here's how Feargal had performed his new single on a plane during "Noel Edmonds Up The Post Office Tower" a few hours earlier.

Feargal Sharkey with the video for "A good heart", the one with the wheel going around in the background, and with the absolutely fierce drummer.
The song's written by Maria McKee about her breakup with Eurythmics backing singer Benmont Tench; followup "You little thief" was written by Benmont about his breakup with Maria.

@BenjaminBuse OK. March for clean water, London, 26 October ... I'll be there.

@statsguy @newlouisallaway @djstreethawk
That is not what I said, and you know it. But if you really beleive that, it is the same as saying "they're' all the same!" - a gesture of despair
Were Greens to occupy power - would they lose "moral integrity"?
Being in power requires politicians make choices from multiple imperfect options & balance competing factors. Lobbying for (say) clean rivers like #FeargalSharkey (who I greatly respoct) does not require that and makes apparent virtue simple

All 11 water and wastewater companies in England and Wales are now under scrutiny over #sewage
About time too.....now - what about putting #FeargalSharkey in to head this review & determine sanctions?
Or will this review just end up talking the usual shite and effectively just wringing #ofWat hands?

'#EnvironmentSecretary says #WaterBill rises [in #England & #Wales] ‘result of years of failure,’ #utilities sign up to reforms – as it happened
Clean water campaigner #FeargalSharkey accuses #Ofwat of ‘utter disregard for #customers and #environment;’'
#ThamesWater placed in special measures over ‘significant issues’

...and hiring James #timpson as prisons minister - good call!
Now - someone give #starmer #feargalSharkey 's number.... we need him at #ofWat !

CW: UK Politics
Id prioritise putting in effective controls to prevent maladministration by this or any future government
It costs nothing and shows #labour as ethically superior to their grubby predecessors
Oh - and immediately revise #ofwat regulation and put someone like #feargalSharkey in to run it

An email to me from #AnglianWater:
"Earlier this year, we joined Water UK and the rest of the water industry in saying sorry for not reacting quickly enough to people’s changing expectations about storm overflows."
Some apology! My expectations haven't changed, my awareness has, thanks to the likes of #FeargalSharkey
Our local lake in Bedford, a wildlife haven used by many to exercise, walk their dogs, fish and paddle in, reeked of effluent, covered in blue green algae a few weeks back. 😢

ICYMI (which I posted over the weekend & was shown on Friday night TV):
I've not been posting on the conflict between Israel & Hamas, as I had nothing to add to the wide range of analysis & opinion being voiced on social media.
However, ICYMI here is #FeargalSharkey's comment from #HIGNFY on Friday which draws some lessons from #NorthernIreland....
Its worth a watch & confirms Sharkey is politically astute, and not just on the #watercrisis

Two graphs about the #watercrisis tell you most of what you need to know....
If you were actually investing in #infrastructure you'd expect the water lost to leakage to steadily decline as repair & new pipes were deployed....
but there's been no real improvements... leaving the Q.
Where has all the money the water companies have borrowed gone?
#FeargalSharkey will have a pretty good idea where the money has gone (as do we all, to be fair)
-
So, the Govt. not satisfied with #water companies polluting rivers & beaches around Britain is now bowing to the #housebuilders who claim that previous environmental limits to housing developments to halt pollution from phosphates, nitrates & sulphates are to be abandoned to allow new developments near rivers & other water sources.
Another #Brexit freedom; previous restriction were EU & ECJ derived!
If our rivers are not dead already they certainly will be after this - call #FeargalSharkey!

I'd say #FeargalSharkey was great, and he really is on #sewage #pollution #watercompanies https://www.irishtimes.com/world/uk/2023/05/18/environmental-campaigner-and-singer-feargal-sharkey-criticises-non-existent-10bn-plan-for-river-sewage-problem/ but I hadn't realised he hooks fish by the mouth, which hurts and terrifies them and is often a blood sport
