Being working class isn’t about manners or accent.
It’s about whether you depend on your wages to maintain your lifestyle, says British trade unionist @MickLynch4AGS.
“If you have to get up when the alarm clock rings and go out and do a job – and you depend on your earnings, rather than your assets – you are working class,” he explained.
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. 👇

Dear Sir Lindsay,
Helen Whately is misleading the House. No one EVER got a Motability car for tennis elbow or acne. She presents no evidence because there is none. She is lying to whip up hatred of disabled people. Please refer her to the Privileges Committee.

Ethnic cleansing used to be Israel's surreptitious policy. Today, it is Israel's in-our-face pride and joy. Time to ban Israel from every international organisation, like we banned Apartheid South Africa. Enough is enough! https://t.co/vJrwgx3XPU

Here's what should really concern you: they have an insider in the Department for Health.
We've had enough of the GREED, CORRUPTION and FINANCIAL ENGINEERING.

This is Apartheid.
It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide.
To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.
Did your water bill go up again today? Of course it did, and no, it's not an April Fools Day.
Time to end the fraud that is the water industry. Time to take our water companies back into public control.
Named and shamed, the water company fat cats that refuse to explain themselves in pubic. And we put up with this nonsense.
Time to take back control. Time for public ownership.
Tesco are making £4bn a year in profit.
About 50% of their staff are on Universal Credit.
Why don't we crackdown on this unneeded benefit for billionaires?
Last year water companies sewage works illegally dumped sewage on 15,000 dry-days.
Yep that's right, there was no rain, no snowmelt, nothing, no reason whatsoever why WCs should be dumping sewage.
But where are the investigations, the prosecutions, the water industry fact cats going to jail?
Yea, you already know the answer.

Since privatisation water companies have taken more than £85billion in dividend and piled up more than £60billion of debt.
Yet all capital and operational costs are covered by bill payers.
So why keep a privatised structure for a natural monopoly like water?
