UK's biggest water company seeks court approval for emergency funding to prevent nationalization

The oligarchy will give you all $100,000 to change your opinions.

Because. Y'know. That's how it works.

Without the funding, Thames Water will run out of money in March, which could force the government to temporarily nationalize the company.

Oh no! Won't someone please think of the investors?

Company executives say the fault lies with regulators who kept bills too low for too long, starving the company of the cash it needed to fund improvements.

If you haven't got money for improvements, stop diverting the money you did have into your own pockets. 17 billion in debt?! Fuck you.

Can you explain how this is a Labour issue?
The privatization happened under Tories (Thatcher), the whole setup of that scheme has had plenty of time under Tory for years and years of rule where they made sure all that you complain about actually happened.

Labour has been in power for what, 6 months now? And all this is because of ... Labour?

Seriously, educate me on how this is the fault of Labour and why you fail to mention it all was started and matured under Tory rule.

Eh someone else would've taken their place. This is on our governments and our people for allowing monied influence in politics and not keeping them in check.

I did not say the issue was Labour generated I said they are avoiding re-nationalisation, they could nationalise it tonight, do you think they will?

and it is a Labour government bought and paid for by business that is trying to avoid re-nationalisation and that allows the water regulation body to be comprised of ex-water executives

This statement makes it about Labour and how they are bought and staff the board to game the whole show.
Sure, Labour has it's issues but how and why on earth did you mention Labour in your post and yet fail to mention the true villains of this story, the Tories?

This reeks of modern political discourse; blame left/labour/liberal/woke but conveniently forget to mention it is actually the mostly the right who keeps introducing legislation and laws to undermine the average citizen.

This is an issue created and matured under the rule of conservatives/Tories. Asking if the other side, i.e. Labour, will 'fix' the crap created by Tories is difficult to answer, who knows what the conservatives did at the time? They might have had provisions in the deal that make it much harder to re-nationalize then you or I think. My point is, you are asking the builders if they can re-build the house which was demolished, burned to a cinder and then salted the earth. Yeah, there's always a possibility to fix things but you est believe the mess created is much, much bigger and problematic than you initially think. And while asking you insinuate the current builder is actually (partially) to blame. My guess is that it will take no effort or time for people to actually believe this crap and fully blame Labour for this fiasco.

And if you doubt me or find my statements a bit 'over the rop', remember there are millions of people who believe Obama should have stopped 911 and Katrina. Yep, that is the US but the principle stands: people are morons.

You are far more interested in assigning blame than fixing the issue, you have the inertia of someone that needs constant praise, good boy. Who's a good boy.

Sigh, there it is. It was a matter of time really, typical right wing gibberish and insults.

[email protected]

I am not even vaguely right wing, read some of my other posts. I only added that last part as it made me laugh but I removed it, I did like your 'now you see the violence inherent in the system' reply.

I am not even vaguely right wing

Sure, keep telling yourself that

[email protected]

You are very entrenched in blame led thinking, I know very well the cause of this and many other problems but I am far more interested in improving things for the majority than wasting time with accusations.

Smart evil is so much scarier than stupid evil.

Get fucked!

Eh I’d argue trump is scarier than like Jeff bezos or whatever. He’s so dumb he fucks everybody over with some of his policies. Like sure, maybe some of it is on purpose but I’d be willing to bet a lot isn’t.

[email protected]

He’s only doing what he’s doing because of the smart evil that got him where he is though.

labour is another face of the same corporation bootlicking coin. If they gave a shit about this, they would've already proceeded with nationalisation. They haven't
