We are working with three teams of lawyers: (1) water companies can be sued but how do you protect yourself from huge costs risk (2) does polluting rivers and the sea breach the human rights of affected communities and (3) how should our interests be looked after as water companies are restructured?

Can anything be done?
Are there civil lawsuits that can be served?
Do you know any legal experts that can advise on this?
It feels like this is what I make a monthly contribution to Good Law Project for.

Water is included in your Council Tax and your kids get free higher education, free bus to age 22 and on and on.
How the hell do we get our elected representatives to DO THEIR JOBS?
14 years of profiteering spivs and everything is not just broken, but reengineered, to distribute wealth upwards. I fucking hate Britain.
If company management took out loans and *secretly* gave the money to themselves and shareholders, that would be embezzlement, no?
But they've done it *publicly*... I don't see why that isn't still embezzlement? Am I missing something other than brazen shamelessness?
May I suggest:
(4) Can responsible #Ofwat officials & serving politicians be held legally accountable?
For any external observer, it appears there can only be one reason things have been allowed to continue this way:
CORRUPTION
#ThamesWater
#Renationalise
I think that unless point (4) above is addressed, and a precedent set where responsible politicians & execs at regulators like #Ofwat are held legally responsible, we will see continued flagrant (and almost certainly criminal) negligence.
