Thames Water have had a £3bn loan approved. Their debts will now cost them £900m a year in interest, which is where one third of your water bill goes. Yet they managed to pay shareholders £158m in dividends last year. Someone ought to nationalise the greedy fuckers…

Some sunshine today, but still a bit cold. Got out on the bike though for a little 30 miler (and brunch stop) 🙂

There always seems to be such hesitancy and reluctance to tax the super rich for their super yachts and private planes yet until that is done why they change? It’s not the ultra rich that suffer impacts of climate change it is us and particularly the poorest people in society 🌍
