Water scandal, fleecing the public, poisoning our lands, slumping sewageI will never end till brought back to public ownership. Why is Clive the only campaigning for it?
Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege.

That’s the scam of privatised water.

Households foot the bill for upgrades, but £22bn will go to investors and creditors.

£22bn of water bill hikes will go to private investors - not cleaning up rivers
Investors will see their returns from water bills double over the next five years

Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water?

It’s time to bring water back into public hands.
