Re-nationalise everything. Start with England water. Don't even pay for it. The shareholders have had enough dividends to last them a lifetime. Disgusting that people have to pay for what is literally life-saving.

Thames Water lenders float new £10bn rescue plan Latest effort involves paying off fines worth hundreds of millions of pounds as part of bid to stave off financial collapse

They’re liars, they conned us, they’ll make us pay their fines and still give their bosses massive bonuses - they need to go!!

We’ve had more than enough of their shite to last 10 life times..

So persuit of shareholder money/bonuses in England’s water companies, doesn’t just give sewage but antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Know what WHO says?
Antimicrobial resistance is “one of most urgent & frightening health challenges”.
Before antibiotics people died from simple cuts
#NationaliseWater

Health Emergency ‼️

If a swimmer swallowed 30ml of the Lough Neagh water, they’d get an exposure to carbapenem-resistance genes - last resort anti-biotics would fail - worse than MRSA…

Water companies are getting away with this!

They’ll kill us all before Trump does!

Previously it was Ashford (Kent), but now a new one in Hackney and Stoke Newington has appeared.

Thousands of pollution incidents in England downgraded without site visit, data suggests Exclusive: Whistleblower figures show large rise in ‘serious’ to ‘minor’ downgrades based on water company evidence

“The regulator is in too close a relationship with the water companies. They are being funded from the money the water companies pay for their permits”

Dirty water, death and decline: the inside story of a privatisation scandal There is no end in sight to the pollution caused by a ‘broken’ system. Experts say it could even be getting worse

Interesting read, it’s baffling that the uk persists as 1 of 2 countries in the world with private system. No clear reasons provided why government resists nationalisation. #nationalisewater #endsewagepollution

Revealed: Thames Water's environmental and financial disaster New research reveals Britain's biggest water company has been illegally polluting rivers at an even greater scale than previously thought.

Article from New Statesman details what a shoddy job Thames Water are doing - FIVE YEARS of new regulations and responsibilities have done NOTHING to address its pollution of bathing waters and delicate ecosystems…

Indeed - fine them into bankruptcy, then nationalise cheaply!

Water needs an overhaul.

All utility companies such as gas, water & electricity should be state owned.

Free market economics are meant to rely on people being logical agents of choice. How is that going to work when Water Companies are territorially allocated monopolies? "The rational person would not do business with bad companies" which would mean life without water. #NationaliseWater

And yet #Labour still won't nationalise them & are happy for the water companies to charge us huge amounts of money for literally, a shit service.

‘It’s pretty grim’: Tunbridge Wells residents struggle through several days without water – again South East Water blames bad weather as pubs are forced to close, toilets overflow and people go without showers

Privatisation of essential services has failed spectacularly and it’s the public, who have paid every month for clean water 💦 , who are suffering. No more excuses, we need to take back control of our water supplies.

'It's absolute chaos' - burst sewage pipe blights village near York A burst sewage pipe and flooding is “causing chaos” in a village near York, according to residents.

Classic Yorkshire Water! (I speak as one of their victims - sorry, customers).

Plenty of money to recently bung under-the-counter millions to an ultra-greedy CEO.

But nothing to spend on maintenance of their infrastructure...

Welp, my water bill went up by around 20%. But never fear, according to Severn Trent, they're only increasing bills "gradually" over the coming years to pay for infrastructure.

Meanwhile, let's enjoy shitty rivers and record profits for shareholders.

"Although not specified in this document, the lenders are clear that they will need a 'regulatory reset' which specifies new and less onerous targets on pollution and leakage than the company tried and failed to hit in the past."

Consequences of #Privatisation #water
= Criminal convictions
= 86% rivers/lakes polluted and fail eological standards
= zero executive prosecuted
= zero licences revoked
= Bonuses and dividends are still paid
= loans continue given by government

This must End... #nationalisewater

Bell stands on the grass in the middle of an estate with a tree behind her. She is wearing a pale pink blazer and holding a blue sign that says: 'Make Thames Water Public: "I pledge that if and when Thames Water comes into Special Administration, I will back permanent public ownership. I will say no to re-privatisation."'

I've signed @weownit.org.uk's pledge supporting the permanent public ownership of Thames Water.

Under privatisation, we get rinsed whilst shareholders get rich.

It's time to bring water back into public ownership and pump money back into the system we all rely on.
