You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
Deregulation, 2 fingers to the watchdog, new oil & gas licences, deteriorating water quality, sewage everywhere, protected sites abused, most environmental targets missed.
Going well isn’t it.
We face an urgent nature and climate crisis. But instead of a plan for nature's recovery on land and at sea, the UK Government is pursuing a dangerous agenda of deregulation that puts the very laws protecting wildlife at risk. But what does this mean exactly? (1/12)
It's that time of the week again, I have two hospitality tickets for a pair of lucky Brentford fans to give away for this Sunday's match at @BrentfordFC V Arsenal. Follow, like and RT and we'll pick a winner tomorrow afternoon!
@Upworthy@distantpod @MikeBubbins @elisjames@SteffGarrero you chaps may have seen this already, but what character and EI for a young man. Praise to his coaches and his parents.
@Toby_Cudworth@matthewOCS@GraemeBailey@90min_Football I can’t see the logic in this decision, you could say that Burnley are perennial overachievers with their budget and Sean Dyche at the helm. He’s proven that he can get them back in the premier league should they go down. Is it now a short term fix to try and survive?

@nadderdiary Ha, that would be the former British American Tobabco HQ.
The former Tory council leader envisaged Woking becoming the singapore of the southeast with all the current development taking place. I don’t think he’s ever visited to Singapore.
