I'm sure they'd be fun to stay in for a few days on holiday, but as a home? No thanks.

Fortunately, it was only a couple of days.

shitting straight into the harbour. some at least have 'macerators'
but they wont pay to have their sewage treated. Don't fall in stand up paddle boarders.

it’s not as if Southern Water would do anything about treating it before dumping it into the river, even if it did go into the sewer.

that make an income from being the Soil Boat i.e. they collect the buckets (literally buckets) of shit from other historic boats for a fee, and then they dispose of it in the sanitation stations.

but the people I know who live on a boat have a big tank that stores all their waste, and every month they go to a pumping station and pump it out for proper disposal and treatment. If you moor in Bristol Harbour, for example, self-operated pump out systems are available at the New Inlet, Prince Street Bridge and Temple Back.
You must know some right scum if they shit in the water.

don't look like they are surrounded by piles of fetid shit, either. Most likely, if they don't go to a pumping station, then seeing the guy that builds them, and having met people like that before, and also seeing the 'extinction rebellion' painted on one of them, there will be a compost toilet positioned somewhere close by on land.
They most certainly won't be throwing shit straight into the river, unlike Southern Water.
