Large part of UK’s water network was installed 130 to 150 years ago. Thames Water infrastructure has average age of 79 years; industry average 56 yrs. 40% of TW assets are over 100 years old. Its IT systems date back to the 1980s. Since privatisation, water companies paid £88.4bn in dividends.

The case for nationalisation of water companies

England’s privatised water companies are leaders of predatory practices. In 1989, the industry was privatised for £7.6bn and had no debts. It joined Chile and a few US states&...

Just as useless as the last one. Why is the only party with decisive policies Reform? (Answer: because it's easy to come up with decisive but useless policies.)

But are not ramen and pasta the same thing from different countries? They are both extruded wheat flour paste. Other countries turn the paste into pellets, as in cous cous, but it's all basically the same stuff. Of course nobody actually thinks of ramen as pasta, so you are right.

Roger Bridgman @rrabbitt.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

I didn't know that. Can you give me an example of noodles that are not pasta?

Jonathan Porritt has been arrested. As he says "trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism."

Alarm at NHS England as patient records put under control of US private equity firm TPG via a takeover. Business model is profiteering, not care for patients. Regulatory/Govt silence on expansion of private equity. Public money fuelling PE growth.

I was thinking about it but saw that it was nearly three hours long. Too much for my bladder, especially if the film is as mediocre as it looks.

The government can do anything it wants, creating money as needed. The resulting inflation can be controlled by taxing high incomes, releasing resources otherwise used for private consumption. The party of private consumption will always oppose this, but without it we will remain an unhappy country.

I'm not sure about that. I mean, wanking makes you feel better and feeling better makes you kinder.

Tinkering around the edges doesn’t meet the crises of our age: affordability, inequality and climate. We need rent controls, wealth taxes and real action on climate. Only the Greens are free of the vested interests to meet this challenge. inews.co.uk/opinion/zack...
