The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

We are mugged. More than a third of water bills service debt & dividends; leaks not plugged, sewage dumped. 50% at Wessex Water. Water companies paid £85bn dividends, borrowed £60bn. OFWAT approved huge hike in bills. Govt won't end the privatisation scam. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

A THIRD of water bills up the spout! Huge spend on debt and dividends
An average of 35p in every pound paid by customers for their water goes on interest payments and shareholder payouts

Thames Water fined £18.2m for 'unjustified' £131.3m dividend to shareholders. At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%. Capital raised from customers who will own nothing, shareholders will get returns. Privatisation is a scam. www.independent.co.uk/business/tha...
independent.co.uk
Thames Water fined £18m over dividends but granted 35% bills hike by 2030
The ruling falls well short of a 59% bills hike requested by the troubled water company, as it tries to secure a bailout from investors.

As a customer of said company I can concur. Our bills have risen massively. The water companies need to return to public ownership. No investment ever made, just lining fat cats with money, and don’t get be started on sewage in rivers and seas.

The combination of greed and incompetence is quite shocking. Although not as shocking as to sell an essential utility to the highest bidder and expect them to act as a public service. Prioritising shareholders and directors bonuses is always problematic for the rest of us.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Interesting piece about climate protest and farmer protest. The bigger question is why we vilify one set of civil disobedience linked to the biggest challenge facing humanity and legitimise another. These protests are two sides of the same coin. What if farmers worked with climate activists?!

Scumbag farmers in tractors decided to block the A14 and A5 today with a 'go slow protest'. There was no request for this, they did it illegally. I hope the Police will be seizing their tractors and locking them up for 4-5 years just like Just Stop Oil.
