The Rees-Mogg woman is exactly like her brother: no matter what facts, research or expertise is provided, they will continue spouting their nonsense and lies. They seem to have no conscience or morals. Marina, as always, was brilliant, well prepared and morally upright.
Huge respect to you Marina and Gemma Forte for daring to not only go on Jeremy Vine, but also to fact check and challenge the BS and Gaslighting that's allowed to be peddled on that show. ❤️
Vine defending the water conpanies, obviously he has bought shares in them. Sickening that he does not call them out for the robbing charlatans they are.
@@iandavis-fj2ty I couldn’t agree more. Marina has intelligence, integrity, courage, compassion, good morals and an extra slice of intelligence. Marina empathises with those less fortunate than herself, calls out the greed and lies of politicians and their rich cronies, she asserts her points so eloquently and is tireless in her pursuit of fairness and justice. Absolutely formidable and absolutely fabulous! Why oh why can’t we have Marina and people like her at the top in politics, journalism, law, the Civil Service, the NHS, in local government and ,very importantly, as hosts on political tv programmes.
Pollution is at an all time high..water boards are giving out huge bonuses yet loosing money daily..they want the public to pay more but the network gets zero upgrades..screw them.
"You can't pay a dividend if you have negative income".....WRONG, Annunziata! You can only pay dividends out of retained profits....your brother will explain...
Kind of correct, you can only pay dividends from net profits after corporation tax, any left over after this will be 'retained profits' usually used for re-investment/liquidity. It's the fact that they strip all the profits out for shareholders without retention for future investment that is criminal when providing a public service that is a monopoly.
The scandal of the English water companies is a national disgrace as they have been stripping the cash out of the companies to give to the shareholders. Remember the UK taxpayers wiped these companies debts to allow them to be sold off then years later we paupières again for their infrastructure
Errrrr....they have to give dividends to shareholders first???? Even when they were running at a loss????? Where does it say that the tax payer has to subsidise shareholders when the risk that they willingly take with their investment doesn't work out? Nationalise the water companies now. And any other company that used to be public and has paid dividends on shares when making a loss and especially when receiving subsidies. Btw, I lost twenty quid on the fruities yesterday - I demand that the govt gives me at least half of that back to mitigate my losses. FFS that's how pathetic Rees Mogg's argument is!
You get better looking every time I c u , the Tories must hate you for being someone that holds them to account and look stunning while doing it. Great work
It's already failing. Just under half the country uses ground water stocks that are not replenishing, leakage consumes more water than domestic customers, not a single environmental project worked. Nationalisation built the network, privatisation gutted it. Critical infrastructure should not be owned and run by another country.
The host should have corrected that woman in blue as soon as she started defending the water companies, absolute joke that they hadn't made enough money to reinvest, they have made bucket fulls of money unfortunately it's gone into the shareholders pockets not been re invested into the crumbling water system.
The fines need to passed to shareholders then it would stop. Currently they'll just pass it on to customers expecting us to pay more for their lack of investment
No CEO’s need to face personal prosecution. Spewing sewage is a health and safety incident. The HSE should go after the top management as they would if someone had a serious accident at work and the management were negligent.
I worked for one of those companies for 14 years and i can honestly say, theres less crime in dealing drugs. Water companies are expert at rerouting money, flipping their balance sheet from £3bn profit to somehow owing £500m to a holding company. Most projects are not to fix the network but to increase share price to maintain the fraud. I saw the company i worked for spend millions on new treatment works rather than repair the existing. Existing assets add no share value so dont get replaced. I also saw my company waste over £120m on a failed IT project that was known to fail but a director called Simon decided to press ahead regardless. This is why PPE regulations werent followed in the last 3 years, this is why they had recruitment freezes for the 2 years following and also why nothing got fixed despite your bills going up. Also they intentionally dont stock enough water meters so good luck switching when your bill gets too high.
"They're not profitable". Wow, give us a break. Dividends by definition are the distribution of net profit. So if they aren't really profitable, are the dividends illegal then? It's great that you're calling them out for what they are. Thank you.
The lady in blue defending southwest water doesn't know much about them, southwest water have allways had high water bills citing the area and Infostructure of the area which are fair points, what they neglect to say is like every other water company they haven't re invested in said Infostructure and kept on top of it, they have also had numerous issues where they have contaminated the drinking supply of water and ended up affecting alot of innocent people and businesses costing them a heck of a lot of time stress and money because they were to greedy in the first place to run the water business like a responsible company and most years they try and put the bills up citing the same issues without fixing the issues, it's a common occorance to see overflows pumping raw sewage into the sea so no one can get into the sea , they are a shower of 💩 the boss and ceo of southern water ..if there was ever a time we need to take the utilities back unto public ownership its now and it can be done without costing the taxpayers anything but the government won't admit that.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg is a brilliant comic creation. She reminds me of that wonderful Monty Python 'Upper Class Twit of the Year' sketch. Sheer comic genius, lets have more of it!
Water and Sewage is a service, not a business. You pay money in, you get water + sewage treatment in return - there is no need to add what is essentially a tax to pay shareholders. Government invests the money from tax payers. No need for shareholders.
And now they are trying to say they need to raise prices to invest in and improve the infrastructure, which is something they should have 'invested' in in the first place. They now, after giving millions in dividends and bonuses, now want us all to forget the past squanderimg of our money and now want a clean slate and us to cough up for 'investment' in the infrastructure. An absolute con!
But... but Marina, they have an obligation to the shareholders. You know, the ones with the golden water taps. You don't want a shareholder without golden water tap, do you?
This woman, Annunziata, is full of it isn't she. The water companies have payed out massive dividends and bonuses. It's an absolute scandal. It should literally be illegal. Of all the things the people have rioted about in this country, this topic is certainly benefitting.
Marina is superior in every way to this great example of everything that is wrong with having a class system. Arrogance ooze's from every pore from people like her and her brother.
I agree. Whilst Marina is fighting the good fight here, this clown Vine is nothing more than a right-wing enabler. And yet he sits there playing himself off as the innocent impartial observer when he's nothing of the sort. A BBC-establishment shill of the first order.
When you look in the mirror every day, you don't see yourself aging. I have lived in Australia since1994, and I can see a doctor and specialist within a few hours, in emergency, my mother was sat in emergency for 23 hours, and was grateful for that.
But half of your water bill (which has built in increases annually above inflation) is to be used to dispose of water. What have the water companies been doing with this money since they have been privatised? Surely a company is set up to provide a service not just to provide a way of making money for the shareholders. If that was the case then no need for companies at all.
Here's a radical concept..... Share dividends should be paid after profits have been declared. Profits can only be declared after running costs are deducted. Replacing the Victorian age pipes should be considered as a running cost. (which if I recall correctly was a condition of selling the water companies to private companies?)
You have no idea how corrupt the industry is. Your bill money is used to buy friends in companies like KPMG, who also advise the regulator. They don't need to change as they have the control, the regulator works for them now and has done since at least the change from SIM to CMEX.
Companies must pay their foregn shareholders first so they can cry about needing to raise prices for investment!!!!...... ........take the hit nationalise them all, ask scotland for help if you think its too difficult
America has operated in this way for years. Self regulation has caused the same problems in the US as the uk are now experiencing. Regulators appointed by governments work for the private companies interests and when they leave government,they're hired by the private company they were meant to regulate. There are rules in the uk about doing that but it is frequently occurring. A government appointed regulator may also take an 'advisory' position on a board of the company they're regulating too while they're meant to be regulating them. Paid and remunerated positions on boards are occurring very frequently and the practice increased drastically under the tories. It's disturbing that starmer has not stamped out that practise as it is a clear conflict of interest and corruption is blatant. That's why the tories despise the civil service who are meant to ensure value for public money for functional services adhering to the conditions of government contracts while following regulations. Tories replaced 'regulations' with 'guidelines' or simply adopted american style 'self regulation'. This system has led to the failure of so much in the uk and the permanent destruction of rivers and coastal regions. Forever chemicals in the sewage system that were untreated and pumped out on dry days have permantly polluted rivers,the banks and the wildlife. Farmers draw water from rivers in dry seasons and use it for irrigating crops and watering livestock. Now the forever chemicals are permanently in the soil and the foodchain has absorbed forever chemicals . People eat that produce and now they've ingested those forever chemicals. A soil sample study is currently being carried out in the uk for forever chemicals contamination. The public are not being told enough about this aspect of deliberate releases of untreated sewage on dry days.
As we saw with Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration. Regulatory capture and the 737MAX. Now at least water company directors here will be criminally liable.
Stop bonuses, dividends and price increases until they clean up the water and stop long term leaks. If private investors look to sell their shares the government should buy them at knock down prices.
This host i notice allways doesn't seem to put much into context for example obviously saying yes the water companies can discharge sewage legally, the issue is they are abusing that legally to overuse that solution for themselves at the expense of the environment, the host obviously won't say that that so i see on most subjects he's pro whatever he is talking about and not impartial , and he seems to side with the opposition guest speaker its pathetic.
If a product or service that is deemed essential cannot be feasibly run in a competitive market then it must usually should be run by the government, even perhaps as a corporate entity. Water pretty much falls into that category Not like you can have multiple suppliers in one geography

What the hell? Isn't water a nationalized thing in the UK. You do the NHS, but not clean drink water and sewage. 🤣 Who finances the roads? Is that private too?
Its nationalized in Scotland and lightyears better than the rest of the UK. A survey in September 2024 returned a 98% satisfaction rating. Roads are run by local authorities
Thatcher started this sold of all the utilities and council houses this is were you get
THE PUBLIC WERE "SHAREHOLDERS" till the theiving tories gave it to rich foreigners
Nice one!! Short and sweet, and you got it bang on.
Exactly mate , how could they sell you something we already owned
No utilities should be privitised, they just get run into the ground whilst the profits are skimmed off.

Any company not making a profit and when in debt should not be able to pay dividends. It should be illegal to do this in a company that isn’t solvent.
