England's water infrastructure at breaking point. Large part of water network installed 130-150 years ago. Thames Water infrastructure has average age of 79 years; industry average 56 yrs. 40% of TW assets are 100+ yrs old. Must end privatisation, remove profit motive.

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

UK diesel price hits record high of £2 a litre. Record profits for oil companies and tax take by govt. Also tells story of deindustrialization: In the 1970s the UK had 18 oil refineries, now 4. We are rightly moving to renewables but economy still left vulnerable. Any national planning?

What the UK should do is build and improve reservoirs to counteract the effects of Climate Change. But of course England has Privatised its Water so that isn't going to happen. Force Water to be Renationalised and prioritise building Reservoirs is the ONLY solution.

Fascinating change in BBC news bulletins about Reform. Farage announcement on small boats only gets the third spot and is balanced by critics saying he's trying to distract from allegations over his finances. Quite the change from the uncritical coverage earlier this year.
