Thames Water fined £18.2m for 'unjustified' £131.3m dividend to shareholders.
At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%.
Capital raised from customers who will own nothing, shareholders will get returns.
Privatisation is a scam.

Thames Water fined £18m over dividends but granted 35% bills hike by 2030
