  4. A cycleway is only as good as its weakest link and #ThamesWater seem determined (or careless) to weaken as many as possible. Right now TfL Cycleways 2, 3, 4, and 22 are ALL closed in some way by #ThamesWater with no safe alternatives. How is this acceptable?

  5. ‘People are scared their neighbours will call the police on them’: how the hosepipe ban got caught up in the culture wars
    By Sammy Gecsoyler

  7. "Even with the fig leaf of a golden share, [the creditors' proposal] might be miles away from Burnham’s promises about public ownership"

    WE AGREE. With one small adjustment.

    This proposal IS miles away from what Burnham has promised about public ownership.

    Special administration of Thames Water - followed by permanent public ownership - is a way to immediately start making good on that promise.

  12. Thames Water's creditors are panicking. Right now, they’re rushing to submit a last-ditch proposal to Ofwat and the new Environment Secretary in a desperate attempt to protect their interests.

    But it's old wine in new bottles. Write to Angela Eagle today and tell her to reject the creditors' offer.

  31. Hmm. We have seen how that works in the past. An incoming Tory (or even Nu Labour) government effectively gift the share (which BTW will be not generating any revenue).

    Screw Thames Water and the shareholders who have expatriated vast sums and nationalise the bastards.
