www.theguardian.com/business/202... The British public are just schmucks to be rinsed until they’re all wrung out. Privatisation is the biggest grift: strip the assets, debt load the company, walk away when bankrupt. Classic mafia economics.

Behind every draconian decision, there's secret evidence ("detailed security assessments") we're not allowed to see. We should just suck it up and believe them. Sorry, Yvette Cooper, that's not how democracy should work. When you make a decision of such consequence, we need to see the basis for it.

Maybe @thameswater.bsky.social should have built some fecking reservoirs over last 30yrs rather than pilfering the money we’ve already paid them. Thieves & asset strippers shouldn’t be managing our water. Special administration & re-nationalise only answer.

torihada.bsky.social @torihada.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
Surely not! Our glorious water companies have surely used all the money we paid them over last 30 years to build at least one new reservoir? I mean, £70 billion debt must’ve got us,at least, one? England faces drought this summer as reservoir water levels dwindle

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

“The Guardian has also discovered that key data is still managed on obsolete software that dates to 1989.”Asset stripped, debt laden Thames Water needs to make £23 billion in repairs. Re-nationalisation after bankruptcy seems the only way? The tax payer mustn’t bail out this criminal enterprise.
