Where were you people when this happened. There were enough warnings not to do it, but they where set aside by the ruling class as a socialist idea. Capitalist are afraid of socialist ideas and they happened to put fear to the public. Maybe it is the public own fault.
Dŵr Cymru/Welsh Water isn't state-owned, but it is run by a not-for-profit private company which has no shareholders. Any money they do make is used to improve the service and to keep customer bills low. Personally, I'd like to see water and other utilities renationalised eventually, but the Dŵr Cymru model isn't a bad solution in the meantime.
At a time when 1 in 5 Scots couldn’t pay their water bill Scottish Water had £391 million sitting in a reserve fund. Did they help anyone? No. Oh and Scottish Water is over £3 billion in debt. Great system we have.
@ftumschk Sadly large areas of mid and North Wales come under Severn Trent, not Dŵr Cymru. That company controls the reservoirs at Tryweryn, Elan Clywedog etc which feed Liverpool and Birmingham. Despite Dŵr Cymru being non-profit we in Wales have some of the highest bills.
Any ordinary citizen would be charged with a crime, if caught polluting rivers, canals and seas. The fact that corporations, (which are large conglomerates of people), can get away with doing the exact same thing is insanity.
They don't get away with anything, its called 'Charges for Discharges' the water companies pay fines for polluting but these are factored in to your bill, so the ordinary citizen is being charged for their crime.

What stands out to me is how Fiona Bruce is allowed to clearly exhibit her partisanship increasingly every week. She ensured that drip from the cabinet got to say everything she wanted (none of it worth hearing) whilst Ash was continually interrupted and questioned and asked to justify her statements by Bruce. It's a disgrace that the wife of a major Tory donor be allowed to chair a political discussion. Every week we hear more and more of her voice. This week it was taking 2 audience polls, in other weeks it's giving background information to the issues raised, information that everyone with a smidgen of interest in current affairs would have known anyway. STFU Bruce.
I can't bring myself to hate the useless tory on the panel because as much as she is involved up to her neck in a dire self serving regime, i get a rabbit caught in the headlights vibe. I would not be surprised if a story leaked of Valium addiction. The kind of person who is too terrified to leave the cult as she isn't mentally equipped to function alone in the world. She is no Michelle Mone. Mone would have stole her lunch money and slept with her father whilst inducting her into an organised shoplifting gang at 12.
they trot her out every time they know they are going to get a kicking - hoping her doe eyed coquettish mannerisms will deflect some of the blame - the " What me?" shy schoolgirl act is wearing a bit thin now she is approaching 50
Good idea, but the idea we can't afford to renationalise them needs smashing for the lie it is. We can just print the money as we have forever to repay it and, as Michael said, absolute confidence it will be repaid because there's zero chance of the market for water & sewage disappearing.

This is a symptom of the "financilisation" of the Globe. Financial corporations control political parties, politicians, and government policy. Corporations rob the taxpayer blind and provide no value in return, while minimising the tax they pay on their vast bloated profits. They act as a great funnel sucking money out of communities across the world and delivering it into the coffers of the Elite. Action needs to be taken to end this exploitation, but don't look to the politicians as they are bought and paid for corporate lackies.

Ash is fast becoming a superstar in British political public discourse, with a knack of making issues accessible. I loved how the audience responded to her questions, that they understood these were not rhetorical.
You really did a great job Ash. At the start of the show there was a large applause for anti migrant rhetoric, but by the end they were leaning to your every word. This doesn't happen often. Next, the world! ❤️🖤🚩🏴

Yeah, what ever would you do comrade. Communists are always very persuasive to simple folk, it’s only when the mass murder begins and you’re lined up against a wall that you think “oooh right, so this is why people mentioned 120 million deaths last century and the over 60 times communism and socialism were tried and failed.. damn”.
I love Ash. I'm so happy y'all keep getting invited on programs to explain how they actually do not understand the world and what is happening. Across the pond we have moved away from hosting differing opinions and have not had experts on in years. If you are a conservative, you go to the conservative "news" program, where they invite conservative reporters, to cover the conservative portion, of a report written by a conservative person, who just found out about something that might be true.

Glad we have scottish water here in Scotland. Was never privatised so we don't see higher bills like England nor profits going abroad or dividends going to shareholders. We knew privatisations would be a disaster
Fiona Bruce just backs whichever Tory is speaking making sure they have more time than anyone else, even speaking up for them!! Her blatant bias is getting nauseous!!
that tory lady headlined "£141m in fines paid since 2015". Ash quotes the FT that the water companies paid out £1.4 BILLION to shareholders in 2022. the fines are meaningless
Ash has been absolutely brilliant on the media rounds, last night was no different. Her analysis has been and was once again superb. As much as I dislike him, Nick Fararri did a brilliant job of destroying the Tories on this issue.

Well done Ash, you said what needed to be said. You are one of the only reason I now watch this programme. It has really slipped recently into almost a party political broadcast for this Fascist Tory government. That is said in jest of course, at least Mussolini got the trains to run on time. 😀😀
That trains thing is another myth. Reality was the nationalised trains prior to Mussolini produced a service the population was happy with, and Mussolini privatising it destroyed that.
Ash was the voice of sanity and reality for the first time in ages on QT. Absolutely right to call Labour out for saying the same crap as the Tories around nationalisation of water companies!

02:04 I completely agree with Nick Ferrari. CEOs of water companies that don't care or fix this sewage problem that is polluting our waters must face prosecution, not limp fines. We need to start making businesses, business owners, CEOs, boards, executives accountable for their decisions. If we are happy to make Doctors and Nurses accountable for every patient they see, why should we not see these multi-millionaires accountable for potentially damaging our environment and our health? We need to stop glamourising business hustlers and make them responsible, including landlords.
I worked for one of the particularly bad water companies for almost 10 years, and I can say that the waste of money is staggering, the management of the waste water treatment centres is a joke and the M+E department have been stripped to the bone....gotta get those profits for the share holders smh
I am far from being a lefty & I am not a righty. What I would like to say is that I watched Ash Sarkar last night on Question Time & without her usual ranting, she laid in to the Labour Party & the Conservatives in equal measure. The points she raised/ challenged were good. Fair play…

Privatisation was the worst idea anyone ever had. It's screwed over everything it's touched.

All privatisations were never about being more efficient, they were about gravy trains and screwing the Public.
It would be smarter to privatise no more than 49%. They run it efficiently for profit (it’s not a bad word) and we are still in control
Privatization is legal theft.
It’s alright to privatise shoe companies and chocolate manufacturers. Just not fixed infrastructure and natural monopolies.

Whether it is public or private, the EU has no decision-making power. Competition is possible but not mandatory when it comes to an essential public services
Ash, you are a Mega Star... long may you shine.
Margaret Thatcher has so much to answer for
Horrible woman I hope she in hell
More the capitalist class that funded the right wing think tanks that led to the likes of Reagan and thatcher.
Including the current Labour party's economic policies, which are basically watered down thatcherism.
She even stole the milk from the school kids....slag.
The legacy of hers & Reagan's has completely f***** everything
Nick Ferrari is right for once but only because he was personally impacted.
His ‘solution’ was grandstanding to deflect from the fact it’s systemic by presenting it as the individual choice of ceos.
If Weil's disease only affected sub-saharan africans I doubt he'd have even known about it.
@@aries6776 nor care. He shills for the system and interests that almost killed his child.
For once. He is usually a dose
I can’t believe Ash went on Question Time! She’s amazing - the Left is lucky to have her 🔥
Ash goes everywhere 😎
Very well spot on message.
Hopefully she doesn't identify as left or right. Such a binary, and thus limiting outlook..having said that, Ash is awesome
@@swampy1234 every enlightened centrist:
Where else would a communist go? The USSR is over and China embraces aspects of capitalism. She could try North Korea but don't know what they would make of her there.
Amazing! Incredible segment. Thanks everyone at Novara 💚🙏🏼
_"Its too expensive to save all that money with that money saving policy, making services cheaper and better for everyone!"_
*~Politicians who think you're stupid*
And constantly proved right on that thought.
Too much common sense for the government to handle
When nationalisation comes up, the Tories always cite British Rail. Ironic since they were the ones that underfunded it to the point where privatisation looked attractive to rail users
Nick Ferrari talking sense??? And Ash going what she does best, breaking it down clearly and concisely! Well done Ash!!
Ferrari did it as more a deflection. Pretending it’s individual choice of some ceos and not the system.
Nice on Novara really respect what you are doing and the clarity is refreshing.
Ash Sarkar is a cool name.
Ash is fast becoming a superstar in British political public discourse, with a knack of making issues accessible. I loved how the audience responded to her questions, that they understood these were not rhetorical.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She already is a superstar.
@@chrishyde1216 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You really did a great job Ash. At the start of the show there was a large applause for anti migrant rhetoric, but by the end they were leaning to your every word. This doesn't happen often. Next, the world! ❤️🖤🚩🏴
They are all Marxist Lefty's it's the bloody BBC
Funny how the BBC vet people who go on QT.
Amazing how quickly nick Ferrari turns on his corporate buddies when his son gets sick😂
Honestly don't know what we'd do without Ash - she has the magic formula
Shill away 😂
@@PoldarkGodzilla- lots of people agreeing with her. Yeah, definitely a "shill"
Nice one, bruv.
Yeah her magic forumla is being a champagne communist and hanging out with mao in her spare time who killed millions and bragging about it , shes so awsome.
She's sussed it out. All you have to do is listen.
Yeah, what ever would you do comrade.
Communists are always very persuasive to simple folk, it’s only when the mass murder begins and you’re lined up against a wall that you think “oooh right, so this is why people mentioned 120 million deaths last century and the over 60 times communism and socialism were tried and failed.. damn”.
I love Ash. I'm so happy y'all keep getting invited on programs to explain how they actually do not understand the world and what is happening. Across the pond we have moved away from hosting differing opinions and have not had experts on in years. If you are a conservative, you go to the conservative "news" program, where they invite conservative reporters, to cover the conservative portion, of a report written by a conservative person, who just found out about something that might be true.
You love a communist?
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you?
Conservatism is dead in UK it was the so-called conservatives who killed it
And the same can be said about the neoliberals too.
Ash Sarkar speaks the truth 👍
You must be joking she is awful
When?
She's been the best (or at least my favourite) political commentator for years now
A broken clock is right twice a day.

Glad we have scottish water here in Scotland. Was never privatised so we don't see higher bills like England nor profits going abroad or dividends going to shareholders. We knew privatisations would be a disaster
Ash is brilliant as usual.
Someone hinted at this below: change the fine from cash to shares. Persistent infringements will eventually result in loss of control of the company.
£400 a year average one bedroom flat - even if you don't use it?? All for what ? Greedy bastard water companies?!
Fiona Bruce just backs whichever Tory is speaking making sure they have more time than anyone else, even speaking up for them!!
Her blatant bias is getting nauseous!!
I agree with Nick. Never thought I'd say that!😂
that tory lady headlined "£141m in fines paid since 2015". Ash quotes the FT that the water companies paid out £1.4 BILLION to shareholders in 2022. the fines are meaningless
Ash has been absolutely brilliant on the media rounds, last night was no different. Her analysis has been and was once again superb. As much as I dislike him, Nick Fararri did a brilliant job of destroying the Tories on this issue.
Now, if Question Time invited Ash on as often as they invite the likes of Fartage on, we'd be living in a much fairer and more contented country.
Why we did not have the same pollution problems when we were in EU?
The bills and pollution both up... service and protection down!
I live on the other side of the Channel in France. No water pollution here. Guess what? No Tories
What the hell are you talking about?
You clearly haven't ever been to Blackpool

My iritation with Question Time is something that I've been moaning about down the pub going back years, so much so that a mate says these days "just dont watch it mate". Thanks to Ash this week, my experience was lifted.☺
I watched that on catch up. She had them eating out of her hand! And she was actually explaining to them what's wrong with capitalism!
The madness of our society leaving essential stuff in the hands of private individuals
The crowd’s panto enthusiasm really does show a total shift in public opinion.
A bit too late, we would have nationalised in the cheap under Corbyn
I have been doing my families head in saying exactly what Ash was saying about southern water for years. So good to hear it on TV in the main stream
Ash for prime minister!
Well agree
No thank you
When even Nick Ferrari is mocking you...
Ash is amazing!

Well done Ash, you said what needed to be said.
You are one of the only reason I now watch this programme. It has really slipped recently into almost a party political broadcast for this Fascist Tory government. That is said in jest of course, at least Mussolini got the trains to run on time. 😀😀
That trains thing is another myth. Reality was the nationalised trains prior to Mussolini produced a service the population was happy with, and Mussolini privatising it destroyed that.
3:40 Go on Ash. Tell them how it’s done. At last a voice of sanity and reality!
Ash was the voice of sanity and reality for the first time in ages on QT. Absolutely right to call Labour out for saying the same crap as the Tories around nationalisation of water companies!
I gotta give it to the BBC, they have balls to invite Ash on their programme again. Every time she gets on their show. She gives them a good beat down.
They haven't got much choice now 😂
Ash has arrived. Ash is boss.

What do our taxes pay for, then? Long live the Republic of Scotland.
02:04 I completely agree with Nick Ferrari. CEOs of water companies that don't care or fix this sewage problem that is polluting our waters must face prosecution, not limp fines. We need to start making businesses, business owners, CEOs, boards, executives accountable for their decisions. If we are happy to make Doctors and Nurses accountable for every patient they see, why should we not see these multi-millionaires accountable for potentially damaging our environment and our health? We need to stop glamourising business hustlers and make them responsible, including landlords.
Well done ash ✊
Ash is awesome. Nailin' it. Utter brilliance.
Nick Ferrari was probably the last person I expected to go on a "Stalinist" rant.
🤣🤣🤣
Lady like Aash - smashed it as per ❤
Ash is a national treasure 🙏🏾👏🏽🙏🏾👏🏽
Amazing woman...Inspirational..Ash that is..not weak Whately nor the Red Tory woman.

Ash absolutely smashing it on QT. Ash the Smash
I worked for one of the particularly bad water companies for almost 10 years, and I can say that the waste of money is staggering, the management of the waste water treatment centres is a joke and the M+E department have been stripped to the bone....gotta get those profits for the share holders smh
The only reason I stayed up to watch this tripe is because Ash was on, she didn't disappoint 👏💅
She’s simply fabulous.
I am far from being a lefty & I am not a righty. What I would like to say is that I watched Ash Sarkar last night on Question Time & without her usual ranting, she laid in to the Labour Party & the Conservatives in equal measure. The points she raised/ challenged were good. Fair play…
56 billion over 25 years? 25 years? They need to spend 56 billion yesterday! This pollution problem must be fixed immediately!
I want to be Ash when I grow up! ✨

I always think becoming state owned should always be part of non compliance penalties. Especially for essential goods.
Jesus. When Nick Ferrari starts to make sense we really know we're trawling the depths! And Ash is brilliant.
Nick Ferrari really does have his moments
Yep
Only because his son caught a rat disease wouldn't give a f*ck otherwise 🤣
He went to Israel for a documentary and sided with Palestinians. I can't for the life in me find any clips of this. Was a good few years ago.
@@MT-kx2uc heard about that he's a freedom fighter on the low
@@colostomybag69 on the whole I don't agree with his takes. But I do think that he mostly acts in good faith. He might be a massive boomer with terrible takes. But I actually think he says what he thinks.
What shocked me the most watching this aside from agreeing with Nick Ferrari was Thangam Debbonaire's pathetic attempt to brush off Labour doing anything about this issue because it will cost to much and I'm not even going to start ranting about Helen Whately's lies, her party have slashed the EA's power over the last few years, the fines water companies get do nothing to solve the problem, public services should not run for profit. Good to see Ash hammering home figures that are rarely mentioned.
