Privatising water was a colossal scam - and we are the victims. Our waterways are filthy. Our bills are up 40%. Shareholders - 70% overseas - enriched by £72 bn. From 0 debt to £60 bn. Investment down 15%. End it now. Save us money. Clean up our water. Neither party will. Why?
Just think, Israel controls access to water in the West Bank and prevents Palestinians from drilling wells but sells water back to them at half their wages. I suspect even higher now with the war, but illegal settlement are lush oasis and do not pay for access to water. Israel has also reduced access to water to below the amounts required to survive. “Palestinian water consumption is just 26 liters (7 gallons) a day. That is so far below the World Health Organization’s minimum standard of 50-100 liters that it is ranked as a disaster zone, according to B’Tselem.” “In contrast, Israeli settlers in the Jordan Valley consume 400-700 liters per capita a day on average, the rights group said.” apnews.com/article/30cb89…
@schneiderhome Rent-seeking crony capitalism in action. And this was entirely forseeable. Same with the railways, same with the airports, same with electricity & gas......
