If you wanted one data point to understand the problem with the privatisation of the water sector, how about this:

Over the last 15 years South East Water has spent nearly as much on interest payments (on its ballooning debt) and dividends to share holders as it has invested in water infrastructure.

Which would not be a problem if that investment had been sufficient to maintain secure supplies of water to consumers.... but as we now know, it has not been!

in reply to Bruno Nicoletti

The business model seems to be borrowing against the assets that were stupidly virtually gifted to you by the Thatcher government to sort-of maintain the system, so that you can pay out almost all your income in inflated salaries and dividends.

The public pays, then it pays again, and then it will have to pay a third time to bail out the business model when it goes bust.

Where does all that public money go ? Why, to the 'investors' of course, and to the senior managers that make the business model work for them. Neat.

Decenni di certezze scientifiche appena crollati: i meteoriti del bombardamento cosmico hanno portato meno dell'1% dell'acqua terrestre. Gli oceani pesano 1,46 sestilioni di chili. Da dove arriva il resto?

Le rocce lunari delle missioni Apollo custodivano la risposta, ma nessuno le aveva interrogate nel modo giusto. Tre isotopi dell'ossigeno hanno fatto quello che 50 anni di analisi non erano riusciti a fare: smentire la teoria più popolare sull'origine dell'acqua.

Oggi nel 1891 nasceva Antonio Gramsci, intellettuale comunista perseguitato dal fascismo. Il suo pensiero laico sui rapporti tra religione, Stato e società offre ancora riflessioni quanto mai attuali, come quelle espresse negli anni in cui il regime e il Vaticano si accordavano.






"On 22 January, #Ukraine marks Unity Day – a reminder of the Act of Unification signed in 1919.

More than a century later, unity reflects a shared reality. This is evident in the way Ukrainians stand together today, supporting one another and defending the country against russia's full-scale aggression.

For Ukrainians, unity is about shared responsibility, trust, and resilience. Unity is our daily choice 🇺🇦"

#Russian military channel writes without enthusiasm about the finalisation of #Poland’s transfer of MiG-29 aircraft to #Ukraine, emphasising that despite their age, they are a valuable addition to Ukraine’s missile and drone defence capabilities, ready for use by Ukrainian pilots ‘right out of the box’. Worse still, the Polish army will gain access to Ukrainian drone technology in return 😄

So well done, #Poland and #Ukraine Ministries of Defence 👍
