Increasing your Water Bills 44% ABOVE inflation in the next 5 years isn't enough for the Water Companies, they have appealed to Ofwat to let them increase them up to 83% ABOVE inflation. Like if they can get stuffed. RT if we should nationalise the lot.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

So did Gov and Ofwat want to avoid being cross-examined by barristers in the Thames Water bailout case? It's not so easy to bluff and be economical with the facts through a proper court hearing. www.windrushwasp.org/single-post/...

“It's not easy to be exact, but studies estimate that tires create anywhere from 10-28% of the world's microplastic pollution, according to National Geographic. These particles don't just disappear — they end up in our water, our soil, and our bodies.”

The Govt refuses to consider no bailout of water companies and public ownership of them. The only way to change this is a huge lobbying of MPs.

Appalling. 🤬 Gloucestershire County Council unanimously called for the CEO of Thames Water to come to a special meeting and answer questions about pollution and sky rocketing water bills. That meeting happened in Nov. The CEO didn’t show - sent representatives instead. No apology was issued.
