Thames Water fined £18.2m for 'unjustified' £131.3m dividend to shareholders. At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%. Capital raised from customers who will own nothing, shareholders will get returns. Privatisation is a scam. www.independent.co.uk/business/tha...

NEW: water bills to rise by 36%. After handing billions to shareholders and building up a mountain of debt, water firms have had the green light to hike prices and bail themselves out. Instead of making customers foot the bill, we should be putting the failed water industry out its misery.

We're in today's i paper: 💬 Will, a member of Take Back Water from east London, said the planned bill rise was “a prime example of the failure of privatisation." "Thames Water wants us to bail them out after decades of mismanagement and failure. We’re not going to." inews.co.uk/news/thames-...

REVEALED: 47% of the public supports non-payment targeting the privatised water industry, according to recent national polling. 🌊 Millions of us are ready to withhold our cash until every penny we pay goes into investing in and fixing the broken water system.
