Notable that even when this project is complete, there will still be tens of thousands of toilets that still drain into the river.

I think I'd almost prefer houses in Britain to not have toilets at all (require the use of portaloos) than to have toilets that drain into the river.

Where do you think all the fish and other animals that Live in the river poop? It’s already unsanitary

Not even comparable. The amount the water companies have been draining into rivers and the sea around the UK is embarrassing, especially when they still pay out dividends to share holders while claiming they need more money for investment in the infrastructure to deal with the sewage spills, while barely being able to service their loan obligations.

Why? It's not potable water. It will inevitably be full of all kinds of pollution. Why is one thing a bridge to far for you?
