@GayTory the service charge- how private equity continues to make its money well after selling the apartments.

@ThePacket agghhh thats no a good day!

@KJKLtd @TheWealthMiner What are the metallurgical optimisation they mention in the last line...it needs info!

[Cornish Dave @burngold]

@michaelsavage hmmm no...

For example local newspaper @CornwallLive has only put out two stories on X since March?

That surely means fewer clicks?

Reach have been the masters of clickbait on here putting partial headlines to get clicks?

[Cornish Dave @burngold]

Wow, the EA has found some teeth.

Big development in the water wars

Today the Environment Agency has commenced criminal proceedings against Southern Water and its former bosses after a major court judgement .

Four former employees from Southern Water, including the former Chief Executive Officer Matthew Wright face a charge of conspiracy to defraud.

“It is alleged that between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2017 the individuals conspired to defraud the Environment Agency and Ofwat by the implementation of artificial no-flow events at waste water treatment works operated by Southern Water to manipulate the Operator Self-Monitoring (OSM) compliance testing regime” says the agency.

Conspiracy to defraud is a common law offence carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years' imprisonment. The case will now proceed before the Medway Magistrates Court.

The Environment Agency has confirmed today that it has commenced criminal proceedings against Southern Water and four of the company's former employees - Matthew Wright, Philip Barker, Clive Massey and Mark Gregory.
Three further individuals will also face charges linked to failure to comply with environmental permits - Mark Butler, Terry Stephens and David James

OSM was introduced for the water industry in 2009 and requires water companies to take samples at their wastewater treatment works and report the results to the Environment Agency. Strict rules govern how samples must be taken to ensure their independence and accuracy. It is an offence if there is evidence that flows or data are deliberately manipulated to avoid compliance checks.

@SmalePerry @METhompson72 He tried party politics on a national level.

He "saved" the Conservatives and broke the country, and ten years later the Conservatives anyway.

@DamianLow3 retirement?

[Cornish Dave @burngold]

@Edark94 Reform/Conservatives still talk of the low tax, small state.

BUT everything left is important service.

Like private equity, what can you cut and sell to get your money back. Nothing, its already broken.

[Cornish Dave @burngold]

@Edark94 from factories to houses to "reduce tax" and save money.

40 years later there is a shortage of houses, no industry and debt in the private companies that are in the public service sector.

There is nothing left to sell or tax to make money, its all gone.

[Cornish Dave @burngold]

@paullewismoney But the government argued it was repaying Covid debt with it?

But I guess they now like the cash.

@KemiBadenoch Hey Kemi, how many prisons did the conservatives build during their 14 years in power?

@AndyRoden1 @philip_cousins @peterjnicholls Boris tried it, Sunak reversed it

[Cornish Dave @burngold]

@philip_cousins @AndyRoden1 @peterjnicholls Everyone focuses on the triple lock for the pension... but talking about death and old age is not a vote winner.
