fulelo@journa.host - #BBCNews - England water pollution at 10-year high, campaigners say
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy5rp6e75q4o
“Water companies’ pollution incidents in England increased by 30% in 2024. … shareholders were paid £1.2bn in 2023-24 despite the record number of hours raw sewage was discharged into England’s waters.” Who cares about a little shit? Hike those prices. We need more and more lovely profits and bonuses! #Water #Capitalism
Given the scrutiny the water industry is under, you might have expected them to make sure the number of 'pollution incidents' in 2024 dropped, if not by the 40% (latterly) demanded by OFWAT, then at least by some smaller reduction.... but no; incidents across England rose by 30% (the highest in 10 years).
If public scrutiny & the regulator cannot drive improvement, the case for (re)nationalisation of water looks ever stronger!
