  1. It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

  3. To be fair, deserved bonus.

    They got a price increase approved by getting loans that they used for dividends.

    And neither them nor the banks will lose a dime. They’ll actually make more money. And they still can do the exactly the same all over again.

  4. If the bonus is performance related, surely he should be fined £370k?

  5. Of course a company boss receiving bonus would agree with receiving bonus.

  7. One of few times you can look at a face and be certain the world would be better if they weren’t in it.

  8. These water bosses must be pinching themselves thinking how long can they keep milking this gravy train before they get caught out.

  11. Time to exercise our human rights to clean, drinkable water. Don’t pay your bills. When they threaten to cut you off, tell them you’re instructing a lawyer to file a class action law suit with the ECHR. 

  13. How is this clearly fraudulent shenanigans allowed to continue?

    What an absolute farce this country is in. We (the taxpayer) have had our assets stripped from us, without being explicitly asked, to see them loaded with debt and not a single new reservoir being built since privatisation; and then we continue to get taxed/charged through the nose to maintain this fraud.

    These people are gangsters. They have no shame and no integrity. Imagine collecting a third of a million for pumping literal human shit into people’s drinking supply. We are ruled by a corrupt cabal of shameless shysters, and no-one (myself included) does anything about it.
