Why is our taxpayer's money going to the Royals in so many ways?
Empty Dartmoor prison pays Prince William’s Duchy £1.5m a year & has another 24 years left on its lease
Charities which the Royals are patrons of also pay millions to them in rent
Make it make sense

Privatisation's thirst for profit will never be quenched. Time to take our water back.
England's water industry controlled by organizations with over 1,100 criminal convictions, 90% foreign-owned.
It dumps sewage, fleeces customers.

It's time to take our water back
Privatised water represents the most unholy of business models – all the while, bills go up, and sewage spews into our rivers and seas.

Yet another article of this sort, this time from The Times asking if ‘pumping money’ into the NHS is good value. Perhaps these media outlets should start asking if the private management consultants are good value, or pushing to end PFI debt. Doubt they will though 🚨

We keep pumping money into the NHS. Is it good value?
Critics complain that our health service is bloated and inefficient — but the diagnosis is complex, and how does it compare with other countries?

At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%.

Thames Water fined £18m over dividends but granted 35% bills hike by 2030
The ruling falls well short of a 59% bills hike requested by the troubled water company, as it tries to secure a bailout from investors.
