“We call on the Government to end the environmental devastation being inflicted upon our rivers, lakes and seas. It stops here, it stops today, it stops now. It is now time to hold to account those industries that for too long now have been allowed to knowingly and wantonly pollute our waters driven by nothing more than profit and greed. We call on everyone in the country who is concerned or angry at the state of our waters to join us and march.”

“This has gone on for far too long and, as everyone knows, rivers are the bloodline and life of the land … we have a moral and civic obligation as a nation to protect and sort this horrific issue out. Our rivers are life.”

“I’m joining the March For Clean Water because I want to protect our right to swim in clean waters. But more than that, it’s not just about water users, its about the whole population globally. We need to keep our waters clean because our oceans are vital to the survival of all of us on this planet.”

"Folks—Britain’s waterways are dying. We know this now. Our rivers are on life support. So on 03 Nov come to London & join the march to demand change & reclaim the right to clean water.”

"We are a nation of shopkeepers swimming in a sewer, so what does that say about us? It says it's time to close the till and cut the crap. I'm sick of being ripped off, fobbed-off, lied to and poisoned by greedy rich bastards, inept regulators and lazy governments. Let's spill out of the rivers and onto the streets and put the shits up them.”

"When we pour industrial waste, agricultural run-off, raw sewage and plastic pollution into our rivers, we not only kill the river but all life in it. And everything that goes into a river ultimately flows into the sea and does the same thing there. Rivers and oceans should never be our dumping grounds"
