I want to live in a country that sees these wonderful people and is thankful, not hostile.
The people cleaning my dad when he wets himself, comforting him at night, maintaining his dignity, aren't hanging Union Jacks from bloody roundabouts! But they are British as fuck! 4/

bringing the water works back into public ownership has long been a bit of a no brainer, and we're probably at the point where most would support it happening with little to no compensation for those who've made massive profits from the failed privatisation experiment, time to turn the money tap off
