THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO RECTIFY THIS 30 YEARS AGO WHICH WAS THE EXCUSE FOR PRIVATISATION, THEY HAVE HAD 70 BILLION IN THAT TIME, SO THEFT IS MORE THE PROBLEM

😳but but.. 25 October 2021 « Fury as Tory MPs vote to allow water companies to dump raw sewage into Britain's rivers and seas. Just 22 Conservatives rebelled against the Government on Wednesday. » « The Government has given polluters the green light to pump raw sewage into British rivers and seas in an ‘extremely disappointing’ move. The bill, intended to revamp the UK’s environmental regulations post Brexit, currently allows raw sewage to be discharged into the country’s waterways. »

I worked for Anglian water and saw the decline and corruption. Everything is outsourced where the company bosses have insider dealings. These companies charge double to what the job is worth. Then water bosses tell the public it needs to put up the water bills. Water companies need immediately under the law of national security to be brought back into national ownership and the debt taken with them.

Jeremy said a very valid point about the sewage system and infrastructure being built for 40 million when now there’s 70 million people,obviously it’s got to be updated for that reason alone.

You pay for it both ways but at least nationalization people can't steal the money in the same way as private

Don’t know where the money is coming from. The country is f&£ked Then.
