so a nice earner for the EA on all those events...helps towards the running costs ......
Oh do stop trying to be contentious, Fred, it doesn't suit you and it gets tedious :-)

As government does contribute at least 50% of the annual budget for managing the Thames that money comes from the public purse - i.e. the taxpayer - so everyone pays a little bit whether they make any use of the river or not.

Sniping at particular factions will not solve the fundamental problem of insufficient funding although I do understand the "we're not really in this together" when it comes to relative contributions.

I have every confidence that the nice new Environment Minister will try and do something positive to break the current impasse !
