Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole".

So sad about Mike Peters. Lovely man, family friend. The Alarm one of the first bands I saw. Endured anti-Welsh mockery, and not everyone's cuppa (sincere/heartfelt in an age of irony/artifice) but gave it such ATTACK. Same attack Mike gave his fight with cancer. RIP. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiJC...

This is an obscenity.

Judge slams Ofwat and govt for not attending Thames Water hearing.
No one representing people/customers as lenders carve the company.
Thames has £19bn debt, wants to borrow another £3bn, only £1bn will be useable, customer bills will rocket, won't resolve the crisis.
Nationalise.
