We are taken for 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Monopoly 🤪
Pivatisation shouldn't have happened in the first place.
Does that mean we should let the whole farrago continue?
Or should we do something about it now?
What will they do - remove "their" assets?
They are the govt, surely they get to set the rules about how that process plays out?
We keep getting told that shareholders deserve large rewards because they take risks. It’s not a risk of the government bails you out when you get in the shit.
And water companies know all about shit.
If they can, fine.
If they can't, let them go bust, nationalise at market price. No reward for failure.
Either way, it's affordable.
Leave them in jail and impoverished
Time to turn the tables.
