When is a fine not a fine?
When it is levied on England's water companies.
Aug 2024: OFWAT announced £168m fine on 3 companies. ZERO Paid.
Dec 2024: £18m fine on Thames Water for paying unjustified dividends. ZERO Paid.
Regulatory indulgence emboldens companies, encourages more abuses.

If we had a government that served the people instead of the filthy, thieving billionaires, things might change.
We don't.
The Labour Party is dead as a party for the people.
"In 2024, Welsh Water was fined £1 as it misreported data on leakages over several years."
Police Ref: CCE21 11.30. 9.2.2025.
We need regulation and fines for people who engage in these undemocratic practices.
And NOT to profit private overseas companies who won't pay fines. Perhaps don't pay for polluted water?
Renationalise and prosecute the crooks who allow chemicals, sewage into rivers and sea.

It’s time to privatise these monopolies. It’s a licence to print money.
