Thames Water who are £21bn in debt and just raised their customers bills by £800m a year, have given their executives a 50% bonus totalling more than £5m.
Why aren't they all in jail?
People act like Britain's malaise is mystery. But it's so bloody simple.
People have no money
It all goes to landlords or mortages, utility firms, and essentials. A few benefit; everyone else suffers.
Therefore, tax those who benefit and redistribute their wealth.
Done.
Just in case you don't know, they are desperate for you to be worried about immigration and immigrants, because they don't want you angry with the real problem.
The billionaires.
"I understand it is difficult to tax rich people because politicians are rich people & they're funded by rich people & they put loopholes in the system... that doesn't mean we don't do it. If we don't do it, then ordinary people will be poor"

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.
He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.
We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.
DWP figures show that fraud in relation to PIP is so small its assessed at 0%. Meanwhile HMRC figures show in 2022-23 the tax gap, the difference between tax owed & collected, was £39.8bn
But its easier to scapegoat disabled people than go after super rich tax avoiders/evaders
Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me.
Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits?
There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.
