    Why only temporary? Nationalise it and put the thieving bastards who stole all the money in jail.

      Socialise the losses, privatise the profits.

      Nationalise it long enough that our tax money has to pay off the debts that were illegally accrued, none of the scumbags in charge will have any repercussions and they’ll buy it back for pennies on the pound in a decade and start the whole cycle again.

    I’m not British, so I should get involved in British Politics. But privatizing water was a mistake of epic proportions. Keir Starmer needs to have some guts and nationalize it. Enough is enough.

    The trash media (The Sun, Daily Hate Mail) talks about poor people stealing welfare, while corporate financiers stole BILLIONS OF POUNDS from you and your families:

    Who privatized water? Thatcher.

    After her time in government, she became a lobbyist for tobacco companies:

    It says it all, doesn’t it?
