Ban the hosepipes, but don’t stop contruction of new oil? What a joke.

I’m fairly sure water companies don’t have anything to do with issuing oil drilling and exploration licenses.

Me too. It was a statement about society in general.
Sad state of affairs that people can’t assume others know water companies don’t have anything to do with oil drilling and explorationg licenses. The company we keep hey?

All of the sales of public assets have resulted in drastic reductions in services and increasing costs. The water, electricity, post, gas and more it’s all just worse. Ths key infrastructure can’t just fail making them a very bad idea to be in private hands without very strict service requirements. We badly need to elect a government that will fix what is clearly broken.

Yeah the reason the water levels in the reservoirs are so low is because people are watering their plants too much that’s definitely the problem. My 20 ft by 20 ft garden is definitely consuming all of the water.

Important reminder.
Since water was privatised under thatcher. The companies have sold off 30 reservoirs. Filling them for development etc.
Remember this fact every time they seek help.

When the private water needs help, tell it to ask its investors. Or have it become public. Private utilities don’t work.
