I believe it's the good-old EU who have put paid to that with their limited-flush rules.
I know that I almost invariably have to flush twice, so how that's saving water I don't know!
It's nothing to do with the flush, really.
Newspaper doesn't dissolve, and it would cause blockages, especially when it gets entangled with wet wipes, cotton wool, sanitary products and nappy liners and then gets solidified by fat.
All things that should never go down the drains.
Try putting some loo paper into a basin and see how easily it dissolves, then do the same with a tissue....it takes a lot longer. Then try a piece of kitchen paper.....longer again.
Then put some newspaper into water. You'll be there forever.
Now who would want that lot down their pipes to turn into papier-mâché?
We really do need to be more respectful of our sewerage system
