Our water system's a mess - environmental laws flouted - so why's the Government ruling out anything but the failed privatised model?

"A lot of people assume that somewhere in Britain there are sheds full of food that we’d distribute in a disaster. Surely there is a grain or butter mountain somewhere? Surely the UK government has a plan for such a crisis?
Nope. No sheds. No stores. No mountains of food. No plan"
