I for one am sick & tired of high profile tax exiles getting kudos for making donations to charitable & sporting organisations of their choice whilst not paying taxes here. Take a bow JP and DOB!

It goes without saying that continual research into effects and safety is useful but in the overall scheme of things, modern sewage sludge applied according to modern rules is "safe", i.e. something that we do not need to worry about. One of the things that we should be worrying about is the phosphate crisis. At the current rate of use, today's phosphate mines will be exhausted before the end of this century. Estimates of future reserves range from 200 to 400 years. Phosphate is part of DNA and cell energy pathways, it is essential for life and cannot be substituted. Phosphate is too precious to squander. Adults excrete 98% of the phosphate in their diets because they are turning over cells rather than laying down new ones. This P can be captured in wastewater treatment works and using sewage sludge on farmland is a good way of recycling it. Capturing P from the output of SCWO as struvite for use as fertiliser is also valuable. Landfilling sludge or ash squanders P and should be regarded as unacceptable.
