It is difficult to comprehend, why people would seem happy with positioning agents of a foreign power into a #UK government exposing defence & security secrets of the UK & Europe to hostile counties putting every man, woman & child at risk.

England's water companies have 1,200 criminal convictions.

They lose a trillion litres of water to leaky pipes. Dump sewage in rivers for 4m hours. Customers fleeced.

None has its licence revoked. No exec prosecuted. Corporate fines are not collected

Whatever happened to democracy, rule of law?
Public ownership of water is the only way to deliver security, efficiency, investment and value for money
37 years of privatisation has been a disaster

England's water companies don't pay fines.

Thames Water, with nearly 200 criminal convictions, fined £122.4m in Aug/Dec 2024 for sewage dumping, paying illegal dividends.

Secretly agreed - Paid only £24.5m (20%) in Sept 2025. Remaining 80% may be paid by 2030 or never.

Why are companies indulged?

RM doesn't meet targets.

Peterborough bus station – very attractive window decoration – a shame there isn’t more emphasis placed on punctuality of buses …
