Come with us to a small, derelict field just outside London where - thanks to a truly horrific combination of incompetence, malevolence, and greed - local citizens suffer what they must while everyone with power and money passes the buck or pretends the underground cancer fires aren't anything to worry about. In any normal country, there would be public hearings, major reforms, and a well-funded cleanup job. But this is Britain.
