And I bet the water companies are having record profits…
How is this legal….
Got to pay their pensions and dividends somehow
and the government just stands back and lets them do it. Ofwat is not fit for purpose. This is a scam of the largest scale ever seen in Britain
I think we need to a bill strike. Millions of customers just straight up refusing to pay their bills in time for one month. Take the hit on credit score, pay it the following month, but show Thames Water we can organise!
I’ve seen Mario messing with pipes before. Perhaps it’s time for Luigi to have a go.
Not that much tbh
Sadly the money is needed to upgrade the infrastructure.
However Thames water should not be able to pay out a penny in bonuses or dividends until that upgrading is done
We got away without having a meter for about four years in our house and then finally Thames water rocked up and changed it at the end of 2024. Figured they would as they want to make every penny they can to fix the fucking mess they have created.
Honestly the whole of the area I’m in is covered in road works due to water pipes, there’s been at least two major pipes bursting near by and about four or five roadworks around water works in less than a one mile radius
Just to provide an outside perspective here, water bills in the U.K. are incredibly low in comparison to our neighbours and I’m not sure how sustainable that is.
I remember being amazed when I moved away from the U.K. and started working in Europe how much higher my water bills where in comparison
Tax brackets at the same level for years, stagnant wages…
We are all ripped off!
We need to start buying a load of yellow vests. This makes me rage.
Boycott! A few different resources out there if you’re allergic to XR, just google.
Why don’t we do the same thing that Thames water have done? You know, fight water with water.
I’ll pop down to Homebase and by a bathroom tap. We can name him tappy mctap face.
Then at 9:15 when the bank opens, we can take out a £22bn loan. Here’s the best bit. When you fill in the form we write tappy mctap face instead of our own name.
Then we can go to Ofwat and give them the tap and the loan repayment plan and say “this is your problem now”. We keep the loan money.
On a serious note though. You could renationalise Thames water without the debt by simply creating a brand new empty company and moving the assets (water infrastructure) to it. The debt isn’t really against the physical pipes, it’s all daft word play and financial games.
You’re paying yourself though really. Everyone’s pensions are invested in them so you’re actually the shareholders so paying yourself.
Makes sense, stop complaining.
Yours sincerely

It’s such a fucking scam. Run up the debt underinvestment in infrastructure. Run it in to the ground.
Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning huh? Fuck you, pay me.”
