Before Privatisation the Water industry had just 10 regional chiefs.
If they were still around today they would be on only £70-80k a year each.
That's just £8-9m over 11 years.
30x less.

I worked on the privatisation of England’s water in 1989. It was an organised rip-off | Jonathan Portes
Taxpayers lost out, and consumers have paid through the nose ever since. This failed regime is long past its sell-by date, says economist Jonathan Portes

Privatisation hasn't been a very 'mixed' story as Michael Gove claims.
The Government has lost almost £2tn from privatising Fossil Fuel and Energy, half our ENTIRE debt, and loses £130bn more a year.
Water, Rail, Mail have all become terrible and lost hundreds of billions more.

Cheerleading Brexit gave Farage an income and the platform to become a very rich man. Brexit gave Putin what he wanted - the geopolitical and economic humbling of the UK. The Russian ambassador Yakovenko got the Alexander Nevsky medal for his part in bringing Britain “to its knees”

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.
Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.
We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.
It will never reach you.

I will remind people why things got better in the early 20th century, the workers organised, they went on strike, they refused to work unless they got what they wanted.
The richest had to cave in, because you actually have all the power.
It's time for it to happen again.
