@H2OBuildingServ@sc_wadsy@Feargal_Sharkey@thameswater That's a bit patronizing.
The point is.. as income and cost have risen the necessary investment in treatment plants to deal with the increased volumes of waste water hasn't ... But dividends to shareholders have.
@H2OBuildingServ@sc_wadsy@Feargal_Sharkey@thameswater Yes but every new house over the past 30 odd years is a new income stream. Where has all the money paid by all of these new households gone if not into infrastructure investment to service these new properties?
@simracer2025@stephencanning So why haven't the incompetent leaders of the privatized water companies been sacked if the private sector is so ruthless?
@janegreyhound@higgyboson Oh yeah paying the poorest a little bit more is definitely the problem. Don't you realize every penny they receive they spend which boosts the economy rather than offshoring it to a tax haven.
@sharrond62 We didn't do anything of the sort. Private oil companies do who sell the produce on international markets at their prices. The oil currently coming from the North Sea isn't available to UK residence at a discount.
Israeli soldiers shoot into a Palestinian family's car in the illegally occupied West Bank. Khaled, 11, sees his two brothers, 5 and 7, killed by the bullets, and watches his mum and dad bleed to death.
Soldiers, shouting 'We killed some dogs', grab the boy, beat him and yell 'Liar!' when he says the others in the car were his family.
Another normal day in the West Bank.
