Morley, who founded the Citizens Against Drinking Sewage lobby group 10 months ago, says locals talk of little else: "People go to funerals and after a cup of tea what does the talk turn to? Water."

But more than 90% of these far-right crimes were non-violent and political in nature, such as displaying swastikas and violating other post-war bans on Nazi propaganda.
