On the Cunliffe review into the water sector in England, co-leader of the Green Party, Adrian Ramsay MP, said:
"Expecting a different form of regulation to fix the water industry is, frankly, rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic." They're calling for the sector to be nationalised

🚨 “Not For EU” Label. Check your asparagus.
🇲🇽 Mexican asparagus in @sainsburys may be grown with pesticides banned in the EU, including carbofuran and paraquat.
🥵 No EU label = No EU safety standards.
🇬🇧 Post-Brexit, UK rules are weaker.
🧪 Lower testing. Less traceability. More risk.

This is a clear indication of how the British state has been infiltrated and is run for the benefit of a foreign power.
Those who still think Islam, small boats, young Black men, LGBTQ+ & disabled etc are a bigger problem, they need to pay more attention.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn.
That's how privatisation 'works'.
