1. Imagine if this were in France

2. Have this person executed

3. I hope this man gets throat cancer and dies choking on pus.

   Edit – typo correction

4. Me, on my second pint of Scottish tap water of the night

   

5. See, I don’t miss out on showers because of ADHD and abysmal mental health, I’m just being courteous passing on most of my ration to the next person

6. ‘water companies sold off 35 reservoirs in just five years, making £26 million from flogging what were public assets. That’s before Margaret Thatcher privatised them in 1989.’ Thanks Maggie

7. Neoliberalism coming back to bite us in the ass 49 years later isn’t a surprise

8. But subsidsing the things we all owned anyway with tax that we paid to maintain things that we all had a stake in was bad apparently…

   Let no-one think that privitasation has not worked, it has worked exactly as intended from the outset, to make money for shareholders and institutions, mass privatisation has not failed it has been a roaring success.

   This country has been stolen, and we all just stood by and watched, and voted time and time again for more of it.

9. Getting sick at this trend of rich people telling poor people how to survive­.

10. and this is why labour are pushing through legislation to let regulators actually punish scum like this.

    only one guess as to which parties keep trying to stall that progress though.

11. No reservoirs in decades.

    A population increasing by the size of Sheffield every single year.

    This will only get worse.

12. I feel bad for the rest of the UK, our water is at least publicly owned in Scotland.
