Water bills for England households to rise even higher.

Bills already up by 36%. Competition regulator permits another 1%-5%, £556m hike

No curbs on exec pay, dividends, sewage dumping as companies raise capital from customers, shareholders get returns.

End the Scam. Nationalise water
Five water firms provisionally allowed to raise bills by further 1% to 5%
An independent group appointed by the competition watchdog rejected nearly 80% of increases sought by companies.

I tell my students this the whole time. They didn't ask for it but they're supposed to consider it inevitable; it's a plagiarized mash-up; being derivative it doesn't advance knowledge; and it impedes the desire and skill to think critically/ creatively, debasing our intellectual currency.

Imagine an EU collaboration on pharma for the benefit of citizens, that the UK were part of. And that the EU wasn't being picked apart by the transatlantic RW billionaire power grab of false promises and broken economies that Farage represents.

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

This is really bad… irreplaceable- and making it more likely that valuable archaeological items are kept in great big urban museums that local communities are separated from, instead of being kept where they originated…
