Water bills in England will rise by an average of £123 this year.
Biggest hit to customer since the industry was privatised 36 years ago.
47% price hike by Southern Water.
Sewage dumping, high dividend payments, exec pay to continue.
No one protects people.

They get nothing until they quite literally, sort out their shit.
Spoiler it's not us
Such was my disgust with what they were doing I stopped paying them anything.
They used to threaten me with court proceedings and I invited them to take me to court.
Five years of no payment from me, eventually they stopped any contact.
Toothless bullies.
I sent them a Final Response but they continued with the auto produced threat letters which of course I ignored.
I also sent a letter to a PO Box number Grand Cayman where one of Hedge Fund owners of SW is registered but got no reply.
In Scotland, our water company is not privatised and has no shareholders.
It's not perfect but I have no complaints.
Oh no sorry, they are just going to continue in the same vein as the last Tory government, and continue heaping shit onto the population.
No wonder Government wants people to work for longer, how else will we afford the bills? Retirement dream lost.
Ofwat is not fit for business letting these through
Not for shareholder dividends or executive pay.
Nationalisation works.
