This is a failure of democracy. 82% of the public want #water back into #PublicOwnership, but we weren’t part of the decision. Now we’re stuck bailing #WaterCompanies out for decades of recklessness. We need a new water system where everyone has a say.

Nobody wants to fix this mess because it would mean depriving some Parasites of a grift, so on the shit keeps flowing.

Ban The Bailouts:

The Government is trying to pass a law that could force the public to bailout failing water companies. We need to act now, before it's too late.

To: Prime Minister, Keir Starmer

The Water (Special Measures) Bill is not fit for purpose and requires urgent amendment. We demand that you:

Ban any bailout of water company debt and shareholders using taxpayer or customer money;

Replace Ofwat's duty to deliver water company profits with a duty to protect the environment and public health.

Sign and share the petition:

I know that this sounds expensive and sounds like the water companies are just taking the piss, but what you have to remember is that it's very expensive to do all the maintenance on the CEOs' yachts.

"Hardly any other country has a privatised water supply. The public support public ownership, and since we have to pay to dig reservoirs and fix pipes anyway, we may as well spare ourselves the built-in cost of ensuring fat profits for the crooks who created this mess."

Corporate greed floods our waters with toxic sewage while pocketing billions in profits and shareholder handouts.

But we can end this – by bringing water back into public ownership.
