Thames Water is teetering but wants to pay £2.5m bonus to execs.
Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments".
Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged.
Privatisation = Abuses and insanity.

The UK Railways Bill going through the House of Commons today does nothing to address the decades of underfunding of Welsh railways.
Plaid Cymru is clear: Welsh rail should be in Welsh hands.
It’s time to end this injustice and devolve rail to Wales.

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.
In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.
Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.
No end to nightmare without public ownership.
