"The question we should be asking is ‘where's our money gone?’... The truth is the water industry has simply become a legitimised rip off." The same applies to this dreadful Tory Party.
@g_gosden @HackettTom I’m old enough to remember we were told that water *had* to be privatised because only private investors could and would put in the money needed to upgrade the infrastructure that had deteriorated under public ownership. Didn’t believe it then, don’t believe it now. #ToldYouSo
@g_gosden Privitise the profits. Socialise the losses. 🤬🤬
@g_gosden Even with proper regulation, which clearly hasn't happened, it makes no sense running utilities privately. Beneficiaries of UK water privatisation have largely been overseas investors including foreign governments. It would be kind to say this has been a failed Tory experiment.
@g_gosden @gnomeicide The watchdogs are toothless, all of them 🤔
@g_gosden Complete rip of again just how much money has this government lost by not having its eye on the ball and having managers in place to do their job for us properly
