“Privatisation has failed because there is no market in water. It should be seen as a public good, not something for somebody to make a profit from.” Well said Chrissie, couldn’t agree more. #water #floodthestreets #marchforcleanwater #publicownershipnow #thameswater

I totally agree. (Most of her points also can be applied to all the privatised industries. We need a lot of renationalising: rail, energy, post office, health etc…

I agree. Hope you've told @Keir_Starmer and your MP.

Renationalise now

ALL MONOPOLIES -Water, Health, Electricity, Gas, etc should be re-nationalised and run for the good of WE THE PEOPLE.

Wake up world! Big business has got lazy. Instead of risking investment in new products that may or may not fail, they are after making their millions from our utilities. Food, water, energy, medicine, all the essentials of life which we should all own with no profit involved.

Sewage dumped in our seas, and debt dumped on the public... Thames Water should be taken back into public ownership permanently. In some countries it's ILLEGAL to privatise water. Water is the stuff of life. It should be run for people, not profit. 🌊

We’ve paid a privatisation tax on water for 36 years. New We Own It research shows that 35% of your bill goes to debt interest and shareholder dividends - not fixing our broken system. Privatisation has failed. It's time to bring water back under public ownership.

"This is not a white paper, its a whitewash.. this privatisation of water has failed colossally" From cynically being used by Labour before the last election Feargal Sharkey has come a long way, but he's still rejecting nationalisation & the public ownership of water.

No-one else runs water the way we do. Privatisation is a legalised scam. Since the 90s, investment from the English water companies has gone down 15%, and they’ve built up a debt mountain of over £60 billion which we pay for. 🌊82% of us agree - water belongs in public hands.

Privatisation is — and always has been — a complete rip-off. It’s time to put water back where it belongs: in public hands.

LISTEN UP ONTARIO: Something big is happening in Ontario, and almost no one is talking about it. Premier Ford has quietly passed a law that opens the door to water privatization across Ontario - and he's hoping you won't notice. The Water and Wastewater Public Corporations Act lets the government seize your local water system and hand it over to a for-profit corporation without your consent. History is clear: when for-profit corporations control our water systems, the results are disastrous: Bigger bills! Bad service! Dirty water! Water is a human right not a commodity. It's not too late to stop this. & Tell Premier Ford our water is NOT for sale. Take action now!

Ofwat is poised to refuse most water companies’ requests to ratchet up consumer bills, with some getting as little as half of what they have asked for 🤔 We've long called for water companies to be brought back under public control. Water should be run for people, not profit.

Steve Coogan explains the reason we have sewage in our rivers & lakes is because of a 35yr failed experiment with water privatisation, its a broken system & the private companies have extracted over £80bn in that period. "It should be taken back into public ownership"👏👏

The problem with privatised water 💧 Around 90% of the world’s water is publicly owned - but England and Wales still run on a failed privatised system. For too long, water companies have been aloud to extract cash from a public necessity, all while putting profits before people and public health. The result? Polluted waterways, high bills and a system that isn’t working. It’s time to end this failed experiment and bring England’s water back into public hands. #publicownership #water #privatisation #sewage

⚖️If tomorrow's High Court ruling goes against Thames Water, and they are placed in special administration, then it's a pivotal moment for public ownership. 💧But it should just be the start. 🌊Water - ALL OF IT - should be in public hands, not just Thames Water.

It's completely the other way round. Privatisation was the experiment" "And privatisation has utterly failed" "Whether we're talking about the movement of council homes to private landlords. Or water companies who took our water infrastructure with £0 debt and now have £ billions in debt. They're pumping sewage into the water. And charging us extra for the privilege" "I want to lower people's bills. People in this country are tired and exhausted. Wages are not going up but bills are going up. We need to lower bills and raise wages" "One way to do this is to stop this exploitation of every single person in this country who uses a water company that has been sold off for private profit at our expense, and we're paying the consequences for that" "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership" "Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands.
