High Court hearing today on Thames Water plan to borrow another £3bn. Already has £17bn debt, mostly to fund dividends, wants 53% price hike. Nearly a third of customer bill covers interest payments. More debt= higher bills. Let it go bankrupt. Nationalise at nominal price.

America no longer a Democratic Republic. It is now, like Russia a fully functioning Oligarchy, led an authoritarian dictatorship - it is a mirror image of Russia. The rule of Law, and concept of Justice is over. The question is will the UK and Europe follow ?
