Thames water paid £1.4 Billion in dividends to shareholders, while lobbying for permission to dump raw sewage into rivers while applying for a bailout from the government and while putting bills up.
This is how the private sector brings improvements and efficiencies to public services?

@RaymondPierreL3 Yes, sounds like a plan… The good news is the tide is turning. Younger generations are no longer captive to the Murdoch media monopoly and are far more sceptical of the neoliberal script. The real problem is my generation: the over-50s, where a greedy minority benefit and an ignorant majority keep voting to protect them. #auspol #mediadiversity #renationalise

Labour pledges to renationalise most rail services within five years
"but there will still be a role for the private sector."
How long will it take #MrFlipFlop to renege on this pledge? And WTF has it got to do with the private sector, who will no doubt suck money out like the leeches they are?
Don't stop there, #Starmer promise us you'll #renationalise water and electricity as well. Not that you ever will. -

maybe the #Oxford and #Cambridge #rowing folks have the right sort of connections to make change happen on the #water #pollution issue ? https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/mar/27/a-national-disgrace-oxford-rail-at-river-thames-pollution-ahead-of-boat-race

According to Feargal Sharkey my water provider Anglian Water paid £4.6 billion to shareholders between 2012 and 2022.
But you will find no mention of that in the BBC’s ‘balanced’ reporting on the funding of Anglian’s very belated infrastructure project to keep the taps on in the East.
Privatisation created monopolies in water industry which were a license to print money for shareholders. Make it stop.

The joys of #privatisation

When a company goes bust, the administrators sell it or its assets for as much as they can get, & pay the creditors what they can. The creditors have to write off the rest.
So why is it rumoured that if Thames Water goes bust, the govt will honour its debts?

#Water firm to pay shareholders £300m despite anger over leaks and #pollution
Broken system. Robbery and reward for abject failure. #Renationalise

#SevernTrent dividend exceeds £260m amid rising anger over #sewage pollution
It’s an absurdity. A completely broken system that rewards abject failure and neglect. #Renationalise the lot.

South West Water recorded £135 million in profits in 2022
The fine for them dumping huge amounts of #sewage on our #beaches and in our #rivers was £2 million
Then the water co.s tell us that consumers will have to foot the bill for the works the water companies should have been doing for the last 15 years.
We must say no more sewage, no more profit, #renationalise

‘The whole thing stinks’: UK #watercompanies to pay out £14.7bn in dividends as customers foot #sewage costs
An utter scandal. #Renationalise the lot of them.

Why do our politicians not admit that all privatisation was a very predictable disaster? #privatisation #ReNationalise

Water companies criticised for passing £10bn sewage bill on to customers
Absolutely. Why should we pay for their failures? Ah that’s the way privatisation works isn’t it #renationalise #water #sewage

#Renationalise. Too much fragmentation and far too much being syphoned off to shareholders and executives

Water firms focused on returns at expense of environment, say peers
Good to finally recognise this but why is it always after the event with no real action taken to put it right? #renationalise

#renationalise the trains and run more frequently to meet carbon targets

CW: UK politics
We’re at a cross roads: the #UK #government is corrupt, loathed and ready to fall. Even their cronies at The Mail and Sun can’t spin fast enough to save them. It’s a chance for a truly #progressive #Left to step up: restore public services, #tax the rich properly, #renationalise the railways, invest in people and their lives, hold big business to account and excise the cancer of Reagan/Thatcher “free market above all” thinking.
Instead #Labour are David Cameron pt 2. God save us.

What’s that sound? The sound of the #Tories kicking the can into the longest grass they can possibly find.
It should not be the job of my grandchildren or great grand children to sort out water pollution in #UK. We cannot wait 36 years. We need a #GeneralElectionNow and then we need to #Renationalise everything the Tories have ever privatised and enforce the law.

Water, Electricity and Transport - all critical infrastructures vital to the smooth running of a country. Look over to Ukraine to see how a nation can be brought down without these services. They should never have been handed to profiteering companies. #Renationalise #r4today
