What the subsidy does, though, is show the sham of private ownership of water. If nationally run we would all spread the cost of managing our national coastline equally, not have to rely on the government protecting a particular region from punitive bills. Frankly ridiculous situation.

This isn’t some secret gotcha, it’s appeared on our bills for years. It isn’t a subsidy to SWW, it’s a payment from the government to customers because SWW customers have much higher bills due to the incredibly large coastline. While you can debate the cost, this is appallingly bad journalism.

Saw you present this film in Plymouth on monkey cage tour. Was loud as you had promised and the bit I remember most.
