@T5Zplayer Doubt it, politicians we can hold to account for failures will always be better than foreign profiteers who fail to reinvest, develop & maintain services to even the most basic standards.. Only a few countries have privatised water for a reason, it's funny how we ALWAYS seem to be in the few, isn't it?
@@ImloyaltoScotlandonly Over the last five years in Scotland, untreated sewage has been released 58,304 times. This is from just the 161 sewage overflows
Honestly, as a Scottish person, everyone south of the border needs to be outraged that their water is being sold for profit back to them at an extortionate rate. Privatisation of essential resources is disgusting. Not the mention how poorly their service is.
@@T5Zplayer That seems very low. Scottish Water has also been awarded Best Water Company in the Union. Also England's DEFRA and OFWATT do not operate here.
well drinking water should be FREE of charge!! And the GOVERNMENT from its immense revenue should be in charge of it instead of wasting money on irrelevant issues like home defence or maintaining the royal house! ( I bet they don’t have water bills issues…😂😂)
Trouble is this is a complicated issue. hence you're not gonna get an intelligent discussion or debate on Sky about it. The reality is clean water and sewage systems need constant investment and rebuild. And a further reality is most of the water companies do seem to be investing in infrastructure. but they are always going to be on the back foot. Starmer talks about millions of houses being built yet not doing anything to improve the water systems and sewage infrastructure alongside. I fish and canoe many the rivers near me. The most obvious signs of lazy public thinking? Every other bush and tree has used tampons and wet wipes hanging from them.
Nothing complicated about diverting billions for bonuses and dividends while infrastructure gets neglected for decades and we're in knee-deep in raw sewage.
What we were promised: private sector efficiency, better service lower costs - freedom from tax payer burden. What was delivered: failure to repair pipes, failure to invest in infrastructure, massive and frequent releases of raw sewage into our river and coastlines, large levels of borrowing to pay shareholder dividends, massive bonuses for failing executives and now Thames Water asking for a bail out after shareholders refused to help!
How many sewage treatment plants and how come they aint working anymore?? Where is the managers of the treatment plants? Either they work or they dont!
They paid £50+ billions (that's right, BILLIONS) in dividends to their shareholders since privatisation. If that money was used to upgrade infrastructure, we wouldn't be in this mess. But of course the public are always reliable cash-cows for Tories' relentless privatisation.
Any chance you can provide some evidence that no investment has been made? Just how much have the water companies made in infrastructure improvements and upgrades? Just facts please. How much more sewage will be produced by Stalmer's millions of new homes? How has he planned for that?
What is it with this channel constantly call England the UK. This is an English problem, not a British one. I drink nice fresh water here in Scotland 😂.
@@T5Zplayer even if that's true, at least they can actually do something about it. England and Wales can't because the government doesn't even own the pipes...
Absolute disgrace. Needs to be one if starmers first priorities stipping these criminals of their rackets. Just stealing money at this point and claiming they need more to do what they were paid to do in the first place

It was worse when it was nationalised. There was no investment. There was no oversight. Pollution was worse.

My water bill has gone up £10 a month (£120 a year) for a single person household. I now pay £12 a week for water,I'm not metered.
Why are we paying for something we already paid for but not received!
Greed.
People paying more for water. Lets see how long that lasts when people decide to collect their own water when it rains.
Apparently ScottishWater is publicly owned.
we shouldn't be paying for this get back the bonuses and use that to sort it out
Why would the treatment companies not be doing what they are supposed to??
