Sir George:
When I was a lad, a journey on the rivers of England was a truly blithe experience. "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive," as Wordsworth has it. Brook lime and flag iris, plantain and marsh marigolds rioted on the banks. And kingfishers swooped and darted about, their shadows racing over the brown trout. Well, ladies and gentlemen, l'm happy to be able to tell you that these ravishing sights will be restored to us again in the near future, thanks to the diligent efforts of your government and your local authority, *all* the water above this point will soon be clear. Clear of industrial effluent. Clear of detergents. Clear of the waste products of our society, with which for so long we have poisoned our rivers and canals. Let us rejoice that pollution will soon be banished from the waters of this river.
