I'm neither a citizen of the UK nor the EU, but I've lived and been educated in both. Though I'm an expat American who's called Asia home for many years, I wholeheartedly support Dr. Galsworthy, chair of @europeanmovement.co.uk, in the bid for a stronger, more united Europe. Time is of the essence

⚖️If tomorrow's High Court ruling goes against Thames Water, and they are placed in special administration, then it's a pivotal moment for public ownership. 💧But it should just be the start. 🌊Water - ALL OF IT - should be in public hands, not just Thames Water.
