When will people stop blaming immigrants & minority groups for all the problems created by an over Privatized economy .. yes we can have Privatization but why not do what other countries do and balance that with an equal share (at least) of publicly funded services..
Actually Privatized services are publicly funded, its just that we get utterly ripped off.
Privatization: disastrous for people & planet but “extremely lucrative for our corporate & political elite” “We must put an end to the robbery. That means bringing water back into public ownership (in line with almost every other country in the world)”
Water price hikes: we need a mass movement for public ownership
UNITE’S Sharon Graham calls the water industry “a symbol of the failure of privatization writ large.”
She is right. The only reaction to water bosses’ announcement that they will raise prices above inflation from April should be a mass campaign for renationalisation now.
Water suppliers claim they need to raise bills because they are planning big investments to cut down on leaks. How dare they?
Since privatization these crooks have paid out over £70 billion in dividends to shareholders, loaded the sector — debt-free when privatized — with over £50bn in debt and raised bills by over 40 per cent.
