Since water privatisation "£72bn has gone in dividends to shareholders, these water companies started out with zero debt & they've build up a debt mountain of £53bn"
Last year @CatHobbs from @We_OwnIt explained why the private water companies should be nationalised
Royal Mail could deliver letters just three days per week.
Don't mail anything urgent.
1st class stamp now £1.25; 2nd class 75p.
Privatised 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p.

Here is the problem with attacking Benefits, as Jeremy Hunt chooses to do.
Instead HMRC should be going after the 360x as much Tax Avoid/Evaders.
People like Nadhim Zahawi, David Cameron, and Michelle Mone.
To target a section of society who cannot work due to long term illness or a Disability, to threaten the withdrawal of healthcare & support, is, in my book…
A hate crime.
In this case, state sanctioned. #bbclaurak
.@RickyGervais speaks from the heart as he gives his views on trophy hunting and poaching.
"It's critical now. Poaching and Trophy Hunting are causing extinction. Don't believe anything different. They kill for fun & money!"

European starlings are the true rock stars of the avian world: they don't just sing, they mimic like pros. From bird songs to leaf blowers and smartphone sounds, they can imitate it all.
What sounds do you recognize in this video?
For a dog who was afraid of thunder, Roselle the guide dog did her job calmly through the ear-splitting noise and crashing debris that engulfed the 78th floor of the North Tower on 9/11.
Her owner, Michael Hingson, blind since birth, smelled jet fuel. Yet he trusted that his dog would not lead him into danger.
Unsure if Roselle could hear him or see hand signals through the smoke, Hingson gave the command "Forward."
Stopping only for dog kisses to calm a panicked woman, the canine-human team led a group of people down more than 1,463 steps to safety.
"Eight people were only allowed to attend my wife's funeral... & on the day of my wife's funeral, under those draconian restrictions, government officials were holding parties... my wife deserved better."

75/. Remember, Hancock's meeting with #Palantir & Babylon who went on to win £1.3 billion in COVID contracts were declared 21 months late
27 meetings in April 2020 with companies that won £1.14b in govt contracts were omitted from DHSC’s original records

Since 2008 the 1% are +220% richer. While the bottom 90% are 20% poorer.
If the 1% (People with £3.6m or more) were taxed back to 2008 levels it would raise £900bn.
There is no shortage of money, it has all been stolen.
Tory govt to change water pollution rules in a bid to enable more houses to be built.
Govt has already allowed house building in flood plains, raw sewage dumping in rivers and builders to profiteer.
Tories putting profits before people/environment.

Tories don’t want that, they want to pay Tory donors millions to house them. The Tory who owns the dock where the Bibby is anchored are getting £4,000 a day.What a corrupt and half wit government we have now? The billionaire owned media never investigate them do they?
