Great end to the season for our Nantwich Town Wolves visually impaired team!
We won the plate trophy final the @PSFLUK league cup today!
(With a little help from a couple of friends at @EITC & @merseyblindvifc on a couple of games where we were short on a player)
"Thames Water Crisis Risks £100 Billion UK Investment Plan."
Complete and utter tosh. Corporate greed, financial engineering and an incompetent regulatory system is what's endangering any investment.
Piece of a monopoly supplying drinking water anyone?

It's the rain, I'm telling you it's the rain.
Nice man from @SouthernWater delivers the same old "The dog eat my homework," bullshit excuse.
Brilliant as always form @salburttjones and the magnificent @SOSWhitstable team. In fact I'm wearing the t-shirt at this very moment.😎
"Ever get the feeling that you’re being had? Presenting: the great sewage scam."
The wonderful @GeorgeMonbiot doing his best Johnny Rotten impersonation, well, almost.
If you're a govt minister, regulator or work in the water industry look away now.

"Water companies... paid £2.5bn in dividends in the two financial years since 2021, while adding more than £8bn in debt."
No matter what they say, how many promises they make, how many times they beat their chests they still haven't changed.
Liars.

Oh yes, did I mention that @thameswater want to pay their shareholders £2,000,000,000 over the next few years?
What, nobody told you? 🤔

"'Filthy rich' water and sewage bosses branded a 'farce' after handing almost £80bn to investors."
That's almost £80,000,000,000 of your cash. Gone. And a 87 year old disabled lady is having to use cat litter.
@Ofwat you're a fu*king disgrace. 🤬🤬🤬

Macquarie, the vampire kangaroo, already picking over the corpse of @thameswater a situation it created, has its fangs in @SouthernWater and now it's coming after your gas supply.
You have been warned.

"Downpours blamed for ‘alarming’ rise in sewage spills."
I see @scottish_water have adopted the same old lame, schoolboy excuse from south of the boarder, it's the rain, but then again it is now been run by a former executive from @AnglianWater 🤣🤣🤣

So the Post Office MD Alan Cook 2006-10 says he "didn't realise" it was the Post Office making the prosecutions + thought "subbies had their hand in the till".
Really bad at his job then.
In his 4 years he was given £3 million in pay and bonuses

Water companies like to tell you all about the investment they make in @thameswater's case at least it's a lie.
Every single year since privatisation shareholders have taken out more cash form the company than they ever put in, every single year.
You've been had.
"Three-year-old boy suffered vomiting and diarrhoea after 'sewage release' on his local beach."
The sewage company is @SouthWestWater one of the worst environmentally performing WCs in the country.
Now how are those two things interlinked I wonder? 🤔🤬

You sitting down?
4,014,964 hours worth of sewage dumped into England’s rivers in 2023. An all time record. A massive 129% increase on 2022.
Exclusive by those fantastic people at the @guardian

"Stronger incentives urged for farmers to help tackle ‘dire state’ of rivers."
Err here's an idea @BritishEcolSoc instead of ' stronger incentives' why don't you just enforce the bloody law. 🤬

While you were sleeping govt published this. 👇👇👇
By 2050 we're going to need another 5 billion litres of water per day, 35% more than currently supplied, we don't have it nor the means to supply it.
Now you know what 33 years of profiteering and regulatory failure looks like
