If this was revolutionary France, the boards of water companies and their enablers would be near the head of the queue.

💯. My bill has gone up to £44.75 a month for a single person. Still, they continue to pay their shareholders. Shameful.

And their CEOs should be prosecuted and jailed!

Our government obviously want what’s best for professional crooks and not what’s best for the people it governs. Just like the government before it.
Clobber the people, always. 😡

It would be interesting to know what profits the shareholders are making in these dire times.

Disgraceful and unbelievable. It’s just papering over the huge tectonic cracks… All I can hope is that there is too much for the new government to fix to allow them to deal with this now. Maybe this is a second term problem, should they get the chance.

It was quick to send me a lying, mealy mouthed letter today announcing the increases.

It should be getting fined and prosecuted.

It should go bust first as a lesson to corporate greed . The bailout just reinforces the get rich quick culture that has got Thames Water in the mess it is in. The debt was used to pay investors not invest in infrastructure.

it’s socialism for the rich. i will never understand how those that swear by the free market love getting taxpayer bailouts

michaelwi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep. It’s the kind they like:

Privatisation of the profits

Socislism for the debts

#RENATIONALISE! ...
16 million people are being forced to prop up a company that would have gone bust if it wasn’t providing an essential service.

And remain in public hands, never go back into private ownership.

There shouldn't be bailouts,bill hikes. There should be arrests for incompetence and
fiddling.

It's out and out corruption, and we're paying for it.
