@thameswater Customer services at @thameswater - after being unable to answer why my recent bill has raised my monthly payment by 110%, I say “This is what privatisation looks like”.
They reply - “I apologise for the inconvenience you've experienced.”
Dissonance.
#thameswaterextortion

[John Dower @JohnDower]

@thameswater have just put up my monthly payments by 110%. Since 2022, my payments have gone up by 2.85 - almost 3 fold - despite being told a meter would likely bring my bills down. No one at Thames water can explain why. This is racketeering. My complaint is ongoing #extortion

[John Dower @JohnDower]

……and the person at @thameswater I’ve been messaging with has been unable to answer the simple question as to why, when inflation has been 4.9% a year between 2022 and 25, my bills have gone up 95% per year. #thameswaterextortion

I was interviewed by @thesocialworkrace for this film on institutional racism, anti-racism, reparative justice & @heirsofslavery It was an honour to be able to drill so deeply into the subject.

John Dower, the Co-founder of Heirs to Slavery, is supporting the 'No Room for Slavery' campaign to pressure the British Museum to create a permanent exhibition about slavery. Since learning that his ancestors had historically profited from owning slaves, @JohnDower now advocates for a movement of apology, reconciliation and reparative justice.

So grateful that @SangitaMyska helped us tell our reparative justice story of the Trevelyan family & @heirsofslavery in early 2023.
What a loss to good radio journalism. LBC should be ashamed.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

In April, I was ‘disappeared’ from air at LBC. It was a disorienting, distressing & isolating experience. Unknown to me, 1 listener, a respected scientist, began an unprecedented petition to express his concern. 40,000 of you signed it. I’d never met that listener, until…

[John Dower @JohnDower]

Great to see @michellegayle1 of @TWR__org & @GoodLawProject telling us why @britishmuseum needs to create a room dedicated to the Transatlantic Trade in African People. @heirsofslavery

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

It's time the British Museum addresses slavery.

We want to see a room at the British Museum for slavery, so it can tell a better story of how we got here and who we are.

[John Dower @JohnDower]

A great initiative from @TWR__org & @GoodLawProject to bring the @britishmuseum up to date on what the majority re calling for - recognition of its colonial past in relation to Transatlantic Chattel enslavement of people of African descent @heirsofslavery
