Customers already paid, companies didn't build reservoirs, dumped sewage in rivers, neglected investment, paid dividends
Now want to charge customers again, not raising capital from shareholders.
End the scam. Nationalise.

Putin did influence the Brexit referendum.
That's a fact.
The question remains, to what degree were those efforts effective?
Given the tiny margin...Putin's interference could easily have made the difference.

Labour are launching an investigation into historical foreign interference in UK politics. But they are explicitly excluding the Brexit referendum from the investigation.
That's like pledging to investigate instances of arson while ignoring the wall of flames spanning the horizon.

Yesterday, the Daily Mail posted a piece moaning about the number of Poles who've left the UK.
In between, they published hundreds of articles attacking immigrants.

Staggering - the effort and resource *still* being invested in keeping the Brexit shitshow on the road.
No one’s held to account.
No one’s fallen on their sword.
No one’s got the guts to really speak out.
So, on we go, protecting this huge and ruinous lie, because telling the truth is too difficult.

He's toxicity on steroids and not a friend to 'ordinary' British people.
