@FortesMentum@UKLabour@AndyBurnhamGM The privatisation has been a disaster. They were sold too cheap that's why they were oversubscribed att. Money for investment has been paid out in dividends. And if they go pop the state bale them out.
@FortesMentum@UKLabour@AndyBurnhamGM Since 1989, English water firms accumulated over ยฃ60 bn in debt while paying out more than ยฃ53 bn dividends. Firms used "financial engineering" to borrow heavily against bills to fund payouts, while Water UK states debt funds long-term investment. Who was in power in 1989?
@FortesMentum@UKLabour@AndyBurnhamGM Capitalism demands unskilled labour.
The water company's that can be blamed on privatisation. Dividends = debt, not investment.
Housing, right to buy was backed up with housebuilding. Like promised in 1979.
@FortesMentum I think it is very hard to generalise a religious group one way or the other. That is like another faction within a faction. Just because you have a left wing pov doesn't mean you support islam and Vs versa.
@FortesMentum@UKLabour@AndyBurnhamGM Unskilled labour is at many times like during COVID proved to be more critical. Think about the bins, care homes, agriculture, not even classed as skilled but should be.
@FortesMentum Ancient paganism UK, refers to pre-Christian belief systems spanned the Palaeolithic era to the Anglo-Saxon and Viking periods. These indigenous traditions were polytheistic, rooted in nature, the land, and included practices like ancestor worship, animism, and ritual offerings.
@FortesMentum 0.0056666666666% is the amount of time since mankind first walked the earth. That you say England has had an identity, culturally, legally, religiously etc.
@FortesMentum Exactly, that's why it is always good to get figures behind the facts out. Surely you are arguing a way of life through % of time is what forms a Nations core identity. But the reality is the significantly larger % is more ambiguous.
@FortesMentum But for the vast majority of time England had no religion at all. The Earth is about 4.8bn years old. Man kind has only been on earth about 300k. = 0.000000619834710743%
@FortesMentum Well on that basis nothing anyone says is accurate including you. Surely you can see the irony in you claiming to be accurate and inaccurate at the same time.
