These water bosses are parasites to our society

@TheWebstaff 4 ай бұрын

Privatisation of required monopoly utilities is the parasite. It exists to feed off us.

@applepie8772 4 ай бұрын

Nationalise- this is a failing monopoly and consumers have no choice. Therefore it should be nationalised.

Building more houses without upgrading drains.. hardly takes a genius 😂

Exactly this. Just shove a load of houses in areas not designed for it without upgrading the core infrastructure. Same goes for Schools GP's etc...

@lordofhowell7158 4 ай бұрын

@DOOM3DGUY when I left primary school. They built a new one. The town doubled in size but not the school. They added a few buildings but no where near big enough. I do wonder what the thinking is behind this. No sense at all

Too bad Sky doesn't say the full story, that the water companies have had more than enough revenue for the required investments for years, but rather they preferred to pay gigantic dividends/bonuses to their shareholders😞

No shame on us as the finest are less effort than what the fines are supposed to fix. Fine them to Oblivion. Then they either fix the problem or go bust and the public get them back for free.

It's a Brexit freedom to surround ourselves in raw sewage!

@JennyTalia2810 4 ай бұрын

It was actually the EU's anti competition laws that forced member states to outsource all their infrastructure & services to private companies or corporatise their services & run them as a business. But yeah its all because of Brexit.

@raziel4435 4 ай бұрын

They’ll invest billions into their privately owned network (that was built under nationalisation and so for the most part didn’t cost them a penny) as long as the public pay for it and they don’t get fined too much. The ******g brass neck of it! One of the so called main reasons for privatisation was that the companies would invest in “their” networks and infrastructure so the state/public no longer had to.
