How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.

I created two Starter Packs for folks looking to find their tribes here.
The first is Climate podcasters - bsky.app/starter-pack...
And the second is Supply Chain - bsky.app/starter-pack...
In both cases if you feel I have missed someone, let me know and I'll add them

Think I've had more 'real' conversations on here in 15 minutes than 15 years back on that other place.
