- sirico@feddit.uk 1 year ago- How else are they to cover the fines they caused themselves. 
- Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 months ago- Set stringent standards. - Set maximum bill rises. - Renationalise them without compensation if they fail to oblige. - There is no point in them even being privatised. I can’t choose my water provider like I can with internet, electricity, gas, etc. It serves no benefit to us. 
- Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 year ago- I forget that the English have to pay water bills
