South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water.
SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours.

Paris: A Love Story 1948-1952.

This is a picture of Tony Blair and his son , who as it turns out just happens to have a company that will be paid £ 100 billion to develop and monitor .....DIGITAL I.Ds !! Another bonus for Blair himself is that he holds £ 375 million worth in shares in that company ! No wonder that digital ID is being pushed on us !
Monet painted The Magpie when he was 28. No one knew him.
He had just become a father and was living in extreme poverty.
He presented it at the Paris Salon and they laughed at him. They told him it was unfinished.

“Leaving Europe is the worst thing I have experienced in my whole time in business.”
“Johnson and Gove should be in jail. As a chairman I am obliged to tell the truth to my shareholders.”
“If I lie it’s a criminal offence. Politicians lie to the public — their shareholders — and get away with it.”
“All that bullshit about the 350 million quid going to the NHS after Brexit.”

Thames Water still trying to bully tax payers and bill payers I see.
Govt should hang up and tell them to clear off, there is no "market solution" to this mess.

The boss of Tesco pays himself nearly eleven million quid a year while up to half his staff are so badly paid that they have to claim in-work benefits. Then politicians wonder why people are so pissed off these days.
