[The Brits have always been pros at this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Stink)
Just keeping things the same at the rest of Britain operates….
The shirt holders and executive boards aren’t getting paid thought??? Right??? Righttttt?????
Animals.
Sewage treatment isn’t that hard. They are being cheap and lazy.
The Falklands do the same. You can have a wee at the pub at Port Stanley at low tide and if you’re quick you can watch it come out of the pipe right into the harbor.
From my experience playing Cities Skylines this seems reasonable.
Who would have thought that a colony whose economy relies primarily on the gambling industry, does not have very high ethical standards in other areas?
Don’t blame this on Gibraltar.
Dumping waste water into the ocean is UK decision.
I know the joke is that Gibraltar is „more British than Britain is“, but I didn’t think that would also extend to dumping raw sewage.
TIL on this thread, that it’s not Gibraltar’s fault; they are only doing it because Spain did it first or something like that.
I guess we trust the guardian on this sub today? Makes a change from usual lmao
They also send their nuclear boats ther if they have a problem, and sell the place for boats to clean their fuel reserves.
Pollution is part of the strategy for the UK.
>According to the Canary Islands Government’s land-to-sea discharge census (2025), the archipelago has 403 sewage discharge points. Of these, 216 do not have official authorisation. The majority are again concentrated in Tenerife, raising serious environmental and public health concerns.

Not only Gibraltar
Apples and trees and all that I guess.
I don’t get the uproar. Do the Spanish cook their sewage?
So nice having Brits as neighbours. We need more balconies in Gibraltar.
The clearest sign that Gibraltar is British.
The vikings are still cleaner than the brits.
Plans for a sewage treatment plan are already in motion and have been filed with town planning department in Gibraltar. The delay in not already having one is that Gibraltar uses saltwater for its sewage as opposed to fresh water which complicates treatment, finding the right location for it considering its size and companies going into liquidation.

Will say tho whilst there’s no excuse to dump sewage into the sea this article just seems like the latest hit piece in the guardians one sided beef with Gibraltar.
Just like in the motherland
Which flows mostly into the Atlantic, does it not? Isn’t the Med flowing into the sea?
We have so much to be thankful about these people
This is just a lack of will. A treatment plant for this size is not very expensive (for what you get) and can fit in the size of 1-2 footbal fields at most. Shameful behaviour to be honest
Yet another reason for Gibraltar to return to its rightful owner 🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦
Does it go west or east?
