Spot on Emma, the Tories have fucked this Country.
No the people that enabled them did. You know the voters.
@@audreymcgready4329
It's not the voters who control the finances or enact the legislation.
Can you guess who that is?
To say the least !!!
@@audreymcgready4329it was the tories who enacted the policies and scammed us all
And not in a pleasurable way.
Nationalise the water companies ASAP
All public services, utilities etc.
Singer turned environmentalist,Feargal Sharkey,has been banging on about this for ages and the government weren’t listening.He’d been on TV and Radio,telling everyone just how bad our streams,rivers,lakes and beaches were.And STILL the government weren’t listening.Even the boat race participants were told not to throw teammates or jump into the Thames for fear of catching some thing dangerous.How has a government after fourteen years in power allowed our water to become so contaminated?
These water companies managers are interested in profiting, then cleaning the sewage in their river and beaches!
Thatcher regime is still alive.
Sell off *EVERYTHING* and kid the numpties that they will have more choice.
Water is still nationalised in Scotland, and Westminster tells us we’d be crap at running our country🤷🏻♂️
Re-nationalise the water companies without compensation. The leaders of these companies are lucky they are not in prison for the mass poisoning of the general public.
Easily done, just don't renew their contract when they tun out, it won't cost taxpayer's a penny.
@@user-ol6rd7pl5t so taxpayer pays for the upgrades,,while they escape with the profits???
Wasn’t the boat race crews told not to jump in the Thames . Then the Oxford crew had e-coli poisoning . Oh the irony the money man’s little posh boys down with the shits and spewing there guts up rather than spewing out there bullshit
too late, Macquarie already had their fun
Exactly, the shareholders have had far too much in dividends already, give them ten pence per share and get the water works working properly again. All the other previously publicly owned services should be taken back into public ownership too. The tories are such greedy illegitimates, vote anyone but tory.
They’ll stop at nothing to make themselves and their mates money.
they wont be swimming in it, they couldn't give a monkeys. sunak pays £17k just to heat his pool!
Shameful,but not surprising from this government,especially after the PPE SCANDAL during Covid.It’s all about lining their pockets.Singer turned environmentalist,Feargal Sharkey,has been banging on about the state of our streams,rivers,lakes and beaches for ages.Doing the rounds on TV and Radio,but obviously the government aren’t listening to what he’s had to say.And we now have parts of Southern England having to boil their tap water before drinking it,and getting emergency bottled water to see them through.We see poorer nations struggling to get clean drinking water,the adverts on TV,and now it’s happening here,because of greed.😾
Political greed,but why is anyone surprised by this government,especially after the PPE SCANDAL during Covid.After fourteen years in power and this is the state of our water.And in parts of Southern England,they’re having to boil their tap water before drinking it and are getting emergency supplies of bottled water.This is the sort of thing you see in poorer nations,we’ve all seen the adverts on TV,and it’s happening here in England! Shameful,absolutely shameful.😾
Always been the way, always will.
More like d taxpayer is paying to heat his pool
I'm staggered the speaker didn't tell her to shut up. How dare she upset the apple cart and tell the truth.
Yes indeed very surprising 👍probably asleep!
I think he should have shut up, you could see him having a chat with another person during this clip.
No he saves that for the SNP.
She isn't a member of SNP
Brilliant Speech Bravo Emma Hardy 👏👏👏
Yeah great. But look at how many MPs of both sides were in the house.
@@adamlee3772where are they? In the bar talking crap. Ownership models in Wales and Scotland producing clean water, unpolluted rivers and seashores speak volumes. Well done the Celts.
thee capitalist arse holes make you eat their shit! It won't be long until you're screaming starmer has betrayed us
And now they want to increase our bills by over 50%. I hate the Tories.
Hates not strong enough,,,
@NewEstablishment No. You're wrong there. It's 91% not 50%. Southern Water - 91% increase to £915 a year by 2030.
@@Poliss95 I did say over 50.
@@Poliss95 It's a negotiation. If you want a 50% increase, you ask for a 100% increase because you know you won't get all you ask for.
Water isn't a luxury good it should be in Public hands !
Certainly not THOSE hands, obviously. 😂
Of course, it's not funny. You're absolutely correct by my ( and many peoples '! ) lights.
Seems to me more items appear to be luxury goods for many people, warm home, or in some cases n
Just a roof over your head, food, so why not water too many people take it for granted and use gallons of water every day, if this keeps happening the dividends for hardworking investors will decrease then what will they do!
My sister said they’re doing it on purpose to make it more and more valuable so it will be another way to keep us poor. I used to think she was too much a conspiracy theorist but lately not so sure.
That would be absolutely unimaginable here in Germany.
And here in Scotland
And Wales and Scotland.
We have a Conservative government who are only interested in lining their own pockets and taking the public for mugs.The PPE Scandal was proof of that.Parts of the South have had to boil their tap water before drinking it,and bottled water has had to be supplied as an emergency.This is a Conservative government that’s been in power for fourteen years,FOURTEEN YEARS,and our water system is contaminated and our rivers,lakes and beaches are full of crap💩!
@@joankirk1597 Exactly. I am and always have been happy with Scottish water. It gets monitored 4 times a day too.
In Wilhelmshaven, the water is so clean it tastes like bottled water.
The Tories are getting richer and the water is getting worse. Brexit
is wonderful.
english voters should on mass refuse to pay these water companies until the problems are fixed
Does that include the millions that vote Tory and will vote for them at the next election?
@@davidtracey5471 That would put them into a brain knot wouldn't it. Voting for the party you are protesting against.😆😅😂🤣
@@davidtracey5471 well i am fairly certain that even tory voters want to be able to drink tap water without getting ill
@@somthingbrutal I was being sarcastic but it seems to have gone right over your head.
You can't be sent to jail, there full,, let's do it,,,,,
Evening Max and all here.
Everything the tories have touched has turned to shit. They have the faecal touch.
Get them out for several generations please.
Forever would be best....
Every thing the Tories have touched has turned to profits for their friends.
But Max you're forgetting it's a Brexit Benefit to no longer having to comply to Brussels and its Drinking Water Directive
You forget this is about British Sovereignty to drink sewage
At least it is jolly old British sewage we are drinking, none of your foreign muck here!
English.
Bloody Brussels beaurocrats, coming over here with their pesky environmental laws and insisting our water is safe to drink...
Who the hell do they think th'scuse m🤮
Look around 😂😂😂😂😂
Reece-Mugs promise to provide cheaper food after Brexit... They just didnt mention it was 'Recycled food'......
The Tories would only care if they had to boil champagne before drinking.
they certainly wouldn't 'boil' the champagne as that would evaporate the alcohol content - they would employ 'tasters' / 'Cup-bearers' on minimum wage, if they got ill or died - they would just move on to the next bottle / batch and so on = bunch of CONTS
I see today that they are all asking for price increases of up to 94% over the next five years.
Total disgrace.
They are asking for money, taxpayers money, to pay their friends, families and cronies who just happen to be shareholders! I would like to force every Tory MP to drink a pint or litre of the vile brew that the water companies pump into our streams, rivers and sea!
I would refer them to their shareholders. They are ultimately the ones responsible.
She is my local MP and has helped me a couple of times. Acts on various committes.Utmost respect to her.
To imagine that someone still votes for the Tories even after this one is crazy.
Yep, child starving poor hating, genocide supporting ,🤬
as a scot i confidently drink my tap water
Best tap water in the world. 🫡
And how long has singer,now environmentalist,Feargal Sharkey been banging on about this? It seems like years,and we’ve all seen film of polluted streams,rivers,lakes and beaches.Even the winners of the Boat race were told not to jump or throw teammates into the Thames! The Tories are destroying the nation.
Me too.
@@davidhamilton6428 Aye is it.
You drink only irn bru and you know it haha
The CEOs of the water companies should be held responsible and put in jail if they allow their companies to continue these poor practices!! Investors should come last far behind the public needs and safety!!!!
In Scotland, I’m so glad we have our water is nationalised. We have great standard water. Privatisation only creates greed and prioritise money over health and environment.
The Scottish nationalised model works extremely well. So glad that the SNP have NOT sold off our water supplies!
Yet.
@@lizdocherty3067 Pretty sure the SNP wouldn't sell them off as they are more keen to nationalise services like the railway. The Tories and probably Labour too may of course if they get the chance!
England will never been dominated by Scotland!
The evil tories will destroy all that is good for the people and country including your water 😢😢😢
And we all know if someone dies they will not give a hoot. Every shark swimming by takes another bite out of this country. The Tories and the Water companies should be in prison. So pleased i live in Scotland.
We’ve been turned into the 18th century where you had to boil water it’s the 21st century and we’ve regressed back 200 years madness
Yep,read about the Great Stink of 1858,when the Thames was so polluted,that Parliament had to soak their blinds with chlorine to cope with the foul smell.The Thames was being used as a toilet💩.Like you say,we’ve gone backwards as you’ve seen in Southern England with people boiling their tap water before they drink it and having to get emergency bottles of drinking water to get by.And all this in the 21st Century under a shyster government.😾
boiling wont work for half the chems in there.
We are skint and suffering from poor mental health. What better way to improve our well being than enjoying free leisurely walks or cycles besides rivers. Or even sports on our beaches and oceans - no we can’t even help ourselves because the government has literally turned everything to shit.
Private companies exist to make a profit; nationalised services exist to provide a service. Is that really so difficult to understand?
The Government wanted this. Brexit allowed this. Parliament have ignored this. This is the first I have heard anyone speak up about this.
Every Tory voted for this..... The water in my area is Brown".....
Countries with un-potable public water … Chad, Mali, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Thailand, Mexico, England.
I heard that the chemical used to neutralise the sewage comes from Europe and due to brexit, they can't get it anymore. So glad I live in Scotland
If the water was publicly owned, not only would you see an increase in the quality of drinking water but you would also see a drop off in the number of politicians.
Win,win.
Overgrow the government.
It was publicly owned until Thtacher came along
More of this from Labour please ❤️
Not the case at all. However they are going to inherit a grave mess from Tories....Must never forget or forgive the Tories.
Water In is publicly owned in Scotland. Also Scottish water spent 35% more on water infrastructure than privately owned companies in England.
Glad I do not live in England if you cannot drink water…
An accurate assessment of the policy of a failing government. Criminal behaviour deserves criminal charges.
ps. - a good excuse to go back to medieval times where the beer was safer then the water.
Take them to court and fined water companies 100 billion in nationalise British water essential for health
very ell said Emma,more of this please
An allegory for the country down the toilet
This country is totally broken
To "clear" their names AND their general apathy towards the public the Tory Government will say "We don't give a shit"!
Literally they don't but the shit has hit the fan and will come down on us.
Who is going to protect the public from these criminal scumbags and their obscene demands for more money from the public customers?,surely not this government or regulators as they are one and the same as the criminals that run these water utilities.
Take the truth to them, nationalise water, gas, electricity,take it out of their hands.
So these days, the English people are forced to go to their local supermarket and buy bottled water from Coke and Pepsi?
Because, oh yeah, when I think clean water, I fucking think Coke and Pepsi.
One water company (not the one from this) wants a small 91% increase to bills over the next 5 years, most want about 40% over the same 5 years...
One, more like all of them, thames water issuing 59% rise, 3 times the amount normally paid.. it's sick and should NOT be allowed!
even in Italy the news and newspapers have talked about it and that England is becoming an open sewer
Good evening Max and all here. Brilliant speech 👏👏👏. This lady is absolutely correct. Are the world going back to dark ages 😡 and illness,?!😡😡😡
No, only England. The rest of the world is safe.
Have a nice evening 🍀
Well rickets and scurvy have been making a comeback, think that's to make Reese Mogg feel at home.
putin tried. our eugenicists let it happen for a ruble.
Regulate and punish the crap out of the water companies until it's no longer profitable for them and they walk away.
Take away water companies immunity to private prosecution under 1991 water act where customers are forbidden to use courts to get there money back for services not provided and it would stop because the cost of lawsuits would force them to act
Hi Max, thanks for another great video. Welsh Water is a not-for-profit company. I live in Wales.
I am not against privatised Public services , but I am firmly against unregulated privatised Public Services. In Britain it has always been profit first, service given comes a distant second.
Stop paying to be poisoned.
thats the heart of it. they want to normalise this level of poor quality. people dont have to accept it, and its still up for debate.
Take Scotland's example - Scottish Water is in public control and always has been. We still have challenges but our water is safe to drink.
The ownership of English water is 75 % owned by Hutchinson Hong Kong and 25% by an New York company.
What can you expect from them???
Nationalisation of water supply and the rail industry is a must.
Is this Scottish, NI and Welsh tax payers money being squandered to bail out English water? We can sell it and tax it, just give the nod.
Well, this water problem is not exactly only a problem of the current Tory government. Rather, it is a problem that has been dragging on for decades and depends on several factors. Labour is certainly no innocent bystander in the past and present. It remains to be seen how things will look in the future if they win the next election. The completely outdated and dilapidated sewage system is to a large extent the problem of the public sector. It would have to be completely renovated, but if you are honest, this seems almost unaffordable.
In other European countries too, wastewater is sometimes discharged into bodies of water without being treated or inadequately treated, usually when the absorption capacity is overloaded due to excessive rainfall and there is a risk of it being pushed back onto the roads. In England, however, it has unfortunately become common practice for this to happen even when the system is not overloaded. In other words, it has become a habit. Politics could prevent this.
And that brings us to the problem of privatisation here: As far as I know, Thames Water is heavily indebted. Insolvency should probably be applied for here, if necessary by force, but the state seems to prefer to keep its hands off it. Of course... in view of the high costs that would be incurred if the water supply and purification were to fall back into public hands, people would rather shy away from it.
Well, there is no doubt that some of Thames Water's business practices in the past seem rather dodgy. The following undoubtedly takes the cake: at times, loans were taken out to pay out horrendous dividends to satisfy the shareholders. And this at a company that is heavily indebted. That alone is pure madness! And, by the way, in many countries it is definitely a case for the public prosecutor's office = keyword insolvency concealment, among others.
Conclusion: I doubt that Labour will be able to solve the water/wastewater problem completely. However, it would undoubtedly be very helpful to avoid the absolutely superfluous untreated wastewater and to bring the sewage treatment plants up to the latest standards, as should be the minimum requirement for a modern industrialised country in Europe.
Finally, a small comparison: In Germany, which the Brexiteers like to use as a prime example of blaming, to my knowledge around 90% of the waters are considered clean and harmless and usable for the general public. However, that is by no means the front-runner: I believe that is Greece with more than 97% (to the best of my knowledge). England is at just about 17%.😱😵💫 The question about the latter is: Is it still falling?
Like every scandal in the UK, there will be no one held accountable for this, and it will continue. Scandal after scandal, and the people being paid huge amounts of money to run these industry's, "badly or in some cases, criminally negligent, can walk away without any consequences. Until someone is jailed for their part in one of these scandal's, nothing will change.
The post office scandal is a case in point.
Covid deaths scandal.
Hear , hear ! ❤
We all Can See the Writing on the Wall....Human Evolution is the Only Way, Find a Way Past Greed.
Even the Americans wouldn’t privatise water
american water is shit btw. i have to use it.
I fear that they've already put the water companies too deep in debt.
So glad I live in Scotland, However why we didn't vote to separate from "toxic" England ...project fear was much more prevalent and effective than it was that the remain side for brexit :(
they have long fingers these shadowy people. gotta unite. im done with the abusive marriage to england. divorce time.
Masterpiece speech by Emma well said
People should just stop paying their water bills. En masse.
No Max, not a penny should be spent on nationalising the water companies. Instead, insist on high standards, regulate them, set punitive punishments for transgressions and wait for them to come begging to be released from their obligations back into public ownership without compensation.
Glib statement. I don’t think we need to have a Rwanda bill to put people off from coming here just show them the state of the country.
Well said Emma but unfortunately the reality is this will fall on deaf ears .Tories Out ✊✊.
well said Emma for pm
Yes Max the Scottish water is public owned and here in Wales it is Welsh Government regulated but when the foreign owned English water are dumping their raw sewage into the seas how much of drifts iinto Welsh and Scottish waters
Evening Max...let's have the mafia look after our water...what could possibly go wrong!!!??
The 1st thing everyone should do is cancel their direct debits and refuse to pay the charges levied for waste water removal & treatment.
Have to say though. Look how many MPs are actually in the house.
Another feature that we have had in Scotland for decades is Storm Bunds. Shallow ponds that rain water flows into and out of. During heavier rain or melting snow the ponds become deeper then slowly go back to shallow as the rain water flows into streams, burns or rivers. Rain water is separate from black water ( sewage etc )
The relevant ministers should be sacked.
Apparently some of these companies have been paying out more in dividends than the profit they have made. That is an insane way to run a company and blatant contempt for the people they are supposed to provide a service too.
Thankfully Scottish Water is great
The water industry bosses have shown they are not fit to run an essential utility. The share holders are complicit.... Nationalise the water industry and invest the profits back into the business.
Woa... where is she getting Britain from? Scotland is fine...
People are reporting brown water coming out of our taps in the east Anglia area.....the whole country should cancel there direct debits to the water companies. Disgraceful
So powerful and superbly delivered! She gets my vote any day!
Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful that this is happening in our country! We truly are going backwards!
How long before the rest of us in England have to start boiling water before we can drink it!
The water bosses need to be held accountable and threaten with prison! Nationalise the water, rail and electricity! Put an end to profits before public!
Brexit has given us Cryptosporidium or Cryptosporidiosis. again, another Brexit benefit.
No increase in bills make the private company's pay the whole amount they have plundered enough with the tories help 😢😢😢
And there was no debt when they took it over. There is now. Borrowing to give to shareholders.
Great Clip Thanks Max ❤
Why special measures, take back control. Public ownership
It’s not English water that is the problem. The Conservative government is to blame.
Public Inquiry into the Water Companies is needed
Dont pay simple 🤬
An MP with intelligence proof why no one should ever vote for tories !
What about recouping the money from these so called shareholders and charge thatcher and Co for the criminal act of selling our water to investors around the world what back handers did they receive
its not even about the money, thats a perk. its eugenics
My MP (in England) wrote me a while back that water companies could go bust if they had to clean up their act. I am in a strong Tory area where about 4 rivers meet.
I worked for SWW... Remember not abuse the boots on the ground. They do everything they can. Abuse the bosses. These guys work hard and the top dogs get away with it with fat bonus'
Is it legal to pay shareholders if you don't make money?
you wouldn't have thought so!!
If you regulate two things in life the first that come to mind are the ones that are essential to human life. Food and water. Relaxing regulations on those are madness!
Control the water and food. You control the people.
Yes, Nationalised water is a must but not via a deal where it is purchased so the polluters get to set off into the sunset. The government should simply take it back
Another Brexit bonus
Water needs to be Re-Nationalised. Period. In order to achieve this without major expense, the incoming LAbour Government COULD and SHOULD move the goalposts, to make it virtually IMPOSSIBLE for water companies to make ANY profit. Governments HAVE those powers, IF they care to use them.
It’s possible because we have a lousy, corrupt Government. Our water has to be taken back. No financial compensation should be paid. The private companies are clearly not fit for purpose and should be denied the right of ownership as a matter of national security.
Scotland leading the way 🙌
Nationalise the water and trains
Well said your a gem Em !!
Nationalise all utilities
All the money generated through the sales of the assets should be reapaid by the private companies and their shareholders!!
