Last week I wrote about yet another of the disastrous outcomes of privatisation. If there's one thing almost everyone in England wants, it's renationalisation of water. But no, we can't have nice things. Just more shit. Literally in this case.

High water bills, filthy rivers – and now drought. This is England's great artificial water crisis of 2025 | George Monbiot
In its refusal to nationalise water, it’s clear the government operates in the interests of private capital and not of the country, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Any woman who has ever received online abuse has some understanding of what Jess Philips is now exposed to, but it is on an entirely different level.
It is dangerous to her safety.
Yes, it is diplomatically “delicate”. But if you do nothing it is an admission of your own impotence.
A capitulation.

Musk isn't just another internet troll. His money, power and influence make him a genuine danger. Just hoping he will go away won't work for this government. It needs to make a very public response, and remove all government departments from Twitter, if it is to even start combatting his rhetoric.
