They can't even treat water with literal shit in it before dumping it back into rivers and the sea. Why would they be able to do any better with data centres.
Thank god our wonderful privately owned water companies are so good and efficient and forward thinking and have planned ahead for a growing population and drying climate and built extra capacity and have invested in eliminating leaks and waste and improved the sewage trameatment system right?
The profit motive is literally the only possible way you could get an organisation to be so efficient!
Edit, for those interested, there hadn't been violent mass resistance in India since the uprisings in 1857. While terrorism and assassinations continued, the Imperial intelligence services (which were one of the largest and most sophisticated in the world) effectively neutered and public opinion in Britain wasn't affected at all.
The Indian National Army which grew in WW2 with Japanese support certainly worried the Imperial governors but it had been obliterated during the botched invasion of India in 1944 and was never able to fully recover, despite strong support in some regions.
The now hugely powerful and well armed British Indian Army was another source of concern but there was no appetite among the officers for revolution and the ordinary soldiers had mixed loyalties.
Most of the violence within India at the time was actually between the Hindu majority and Muslim minority and not directed against British occupation in any large degree.
It was the non-violent passive opposition of Gandhi and the Quit India Movement, and crucially, the British violent crackdown of it, that shifted public opinion within Britain. Once Churchill was ousted, there was neither the public support, or the political desire for further defense of British rule in India and forced them to the negotiating table.
To say violence was what caused the British to pull out is factually incorrect and that the non violent resistance totalled "jack shit" is ignorant beyond belief.
It's interesting to me, though sadly not surprising, that of the thousands of rapes and sexual assaults reported in northern Ireland every year it's the one that allegedly involves a foreign national that sparks a huge riot.
Almost as if these people don't actually care about girls being raped at all and just hate foreigners.
Hello fellow British Canucks fan. I find the endless series of catastrophes punctuated by brief periods of (false) hope really chimes with life in modern Britain.
