It seems like we are going to need to improve our fatburg removal technology if these stories keep popping up. Some sort of high pressure steam system or something.

Wait… is the UK using wastewater treatment plants ? Are they just dumping al their sewer in the sea ???
Traditionally, a lot of fairly raw sewage went straight in the sea. The EU was mostly responsible for getting us to stop doing that, although in a lot of places storms and heavy rain can overload outdated services.
