  6. I'm pretty sure that if, as urged, Andy Burnham's Govt. nationalises Thames Water through specialised legislation, that US investors will launch an Investor State Dispute Settlement case to recover their money (and extract 'damages').... so, the Q. may be how much appetite Burnham & his cabinet have for such a legal tussle?
