Wycombe's residents took to the Rye yesterday to protest a "scandalous" proposal that could allow Thames Water to pollute Britain's Waters until 2040.
Water is a human right, not something to be sacrificed for financial gain. That's why we need #PublicOwnershipNow #WeOwnIt.

#DirtyBusiness has finally exposed what many, especially politicians already knew for 40 years. Privatisation prioritises profit above all, the rule of law does not apply to the parasites in charge. If the government won't listen, then we replace them! #PublicOwnershipNOW

Anything the UK Government says about how much it would cost to bring water back into public ownership is absolute bullshit. They're saying this because they simply don't want to & are being told to lie (as usual) to the public. Privatisation only benefits the rich. #PublicOwnershipNOW!

Drinking water contamination notices in the UK have surged by 285% in just five years.
From "forever chemicals" to E. coli and parasites, 379 alerts were issued between 2020 and 2025. Meanwhile, water bills continued to rise, and consumers bore the costs.
That is enough. #publicownershipnow

Water bills have surged by 50% across England and Wales, despite customers experiencing frequent water outages and an increase in sewage pollution into our rivers and seas.
Why should people have to pay for this privatised scam?

The majority of Thames Water customers support nationalisation, as they have become sick and tired of paying for a water system that doesn't work and for a company that is complicit in polluting our rivers until 2040.
People are seeing through the scam. #publicownershipnow

Yet more evidence of the economic harm caused by privatisation and the lie that 'trickle down' will benefit consumers. Socialists have been demonised by politicians in hock to corporate donors and foreign interests for saying this for years!

What they mean by “unsustainable” is unprofitable for their corporate overlord donors.

Sold out to the pollution profiteers by Ofwat -this money now stays with shareholders instead of returned to bill payers. Regulation is a joke #PublicOwnershipNow @boycottthameswater.bsky.social @weownit.org.uk

Never in the field of essential public services has so much been earned by so few for doing so little. 🤬

And by reducing funding the quality of such services inevitably is reduced or restricted to only some needy service users, or both.

Water is the worst example but ALL privatisations of UK public services are Ponzi schemes; funnelling public money into the pockets of private (often foreign) shareholders, while providing UK customers with worse services, as they pay ever higher costs.

Yes it's painfully true that the only real investment in water has come from us bill payers not Thames' so called investors. They've sold our reservoirs and given our money to greedy investors - fine them not us for sewage dumping. Take Thames water into #PublicOwnershipNow

Privatisation of essential public services ALWAYS = worse services and more cost to public purse.
It enables shareholders and CEOs of gov’t donor corporations to profit at public expense.
It’s gov’t sanctioned money laundering into private business, with no accountability.

ALL privatisations are more expensive for consumers, provide worse services, but make Labour and Tory donors very rich. Hence why voters are never asked if we want more privatisations yet we get them, whatever flavour of government we get.
