  2. On 5 Live Qasa Alom asked how the public could afford to fix leaking water pipes.

    The answer - it's the public, not the water companies, who are already footing the bill.

    We need to stop our money from flowing out to repay debts and satisfy the greed of far away investors. We need water in public ownership.

  26. Not being a native of the area I occasionally find that the Welsh language slows down various activities. I was, however, unaware of its direct physical effect upon the operations of the local water supply infrastructure.

  30. Why, indeed!

    Why can #GolfCourses stay green during #droughts?

    Wendy Hurrelland, Tony Grew, 8/4/2026

    "While London's parks are showing the strain of a prolonged drought and high temperatures, some spots in the capital are still sporting pristine green grass.

    "School playing fields and golf courses appear partly unaffected by the #HosepipeBan imposed by Thames Water on most of London at the end of July.

    "Dulwich College and St Paul's School have come in for criticism for the lushness of their playing fields at a time of concern about the water supply, while London's golf courses are also being eyed with envy by homeowners whose lawns are turning brown."

    [...]

    "However, Cat Hobbs, director of We Own It, told BBC London: 'Since 1989 (water companies) have extracted £85bn in dividends.

    " 'And when you get your water bill through the door, a third of that is going directly out again into shareholders' pockets and into the interest payments on the debts that they're racking up at your expense.

    " 'We're all in this rip-off right now and it really has to end because what it means is that we're wasting essential money that could be used to reinvest into the infrastructure to stop leaks and we're wasting water.' "
