    These water companies are a complete disgrace.

    It’s totally outrageous that this is being done and the company who is causing it is paying out dividends and bonuses like it’s candy. Ofwat is a chocolate fireguard of a regulator. Almost inevitable that those who run it are most likely in some way compromised as well…

    We should bring back old punishments and they have to clean it with their toothbrush

  3. Until we can make directors personally liable and perhaps even serve prison time (and we’d have to invent what the crime is), not much is going to change. I think we all know the best option is nationalisation right now.

    Are they still claiming it’s due to ‘exceptional weather events’? (Which basically means it’s been raining a bit.)Â
