Thames Water shuffles feet and looks down sheepishly: “it wasn’t our fault your honour, the government said it was ok as long as we slipped them a bung, er donation and said we woz self-regulating or somefink.”

*Ms Bentley, whose leadership of the company began in 2020, in a statement said the eight-year plan was no “quick fix” but hoped to counter prior “poor management decisions, aggressive cost-cutting and decades of under-investment”.*
Maybe it’s time for the journalists to look back in time in this case?
Presumably the decision makers will be prosecuted and go to prison?
> a “faulty switch” in the storm pump that caused the incident which “could not have reasonably been foreseen”.
That’s some direct sewerage of an excuse! Sounds like they just turned on the shit pump and left for a weekend.
