This article takes *17 paragraphs* to even mention the privatisation of England's water supply, and even then it does so in an equivocal 'some say' fashion - without mentioning, for example, that England is one of the only countries in the world with privatised water. Excrable journalism as usual.
How can England possibly be running out of water?

Usually, weekends mean listening to jazz music. Yesterday and today, I listened to great jazz guitarists : Pat Metheny, Wes Montgomery, John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Larry Carlton, Larry Coryell, John Abercrombie, etc. And Emily Remler's double live album, released late last year. Superb collection.
