Thames Water is going bankrupt, AGAIN.
It can be nationalised very easily and for free.
Freeze their bills, watch them go bankrupt, takeover water supply as soon as they stop, as the law already states.
Job done.

Public ownership of England’s water companies could cost close to zero.
Companies have violated their licences. Shares worthless. Debt low value.
Railtrack, Northern Rock were taken over without compensation for investors.
Can do the same for water companies? But govt obsessed with privatisation.

The Water Companies should be taken into administration, and all their CEOs and upper management fired.
They have shown they cannot run Water Companies, nor can they be trusted with the Public's money.
Which it all is.

If Labour won’t nationalise water, their “big overhaul” is a con.
Sewage in our rivers. Bills going up. Profits protected.
Public services should be in public hands.

Last year water bills went up 26%, today they go up 5.4%
A nearly 33% increase in one year
The Water Companies are still dumping as much sewage, they are still in as much debt
But at least profits are nearly 4x higher and CEO salaries have nearly tripled
That's nice isn't it?

Public Services were privatised by defunding them and then selling them off for far less than they were worth.
Nationalise them the same way, freeze prices, hike profit taxes and fine them until they are bankrupt.
Then buy them for peanuts.

Water and energy are also vital. Need to be nationalised to promote investment, end profiteering, reduce business and household costs.
