Well this seems like a Very British thing to do.
-1. Privatise all the water companies (England)
0. Encourage them to pour sewage everywhere (profits)
1. Find a place where the water is gross (everywhere)
2. Declare the place officially a good place for swimming (active living)
3. Put up signs saying not to swim because the water is gross (poo)
4. Complain (grrrr, et cetera)
5. Ignore signs (bathe in sewage)
