A post by that dickhead Robert Peston reads The final report of the Water Commission includes this calculation: "We estimate that over ยฃ85 billion has been extracted from the English water system by shareholders and affiliated parties since privatisation." Given the parlous, creaking, under-invested condition of Britain's water industry, this was egregious pillaging by shareholders that was licensed by successive governments and the regulator. As the report says, company executives and boards, regulators, ministers, all were to blame. It summarises: "this ยฃ85 billion represents a direct transfer of value from the public to private owners โ€” a sum extracted while storm overflows proliferated, leakage targets were missed, and river health declined.".

From what Iโ€™ve been told by several human briefcases, itโ€™s not economically viable to nationalise the water industry

Legislative harakiri. A rare win for transparency as FOI bill dead - Michael West The Government's attempt to limit transparency has been killed off. Widely condemned, the death of the FOI amendment bill is a good thing

Whilst it was Labor that killed its own #FOI Amendment Bill, it was an action forced by a team of non-government organisations working closely together with non-government senators. Here's the inside story on how the secrecy retreat was forced. #auspol

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: โ€œFor Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life.

Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent.

That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.โ€ โ€“ Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship

Sure, renewable energy projects ought contribute to the communities where they operate

Absolutely

But why only solar and wind farms?

Mining and oil and gas developments should do the same

I havenโ€™t forgotten the Epstein Files and the reality the current usurper in the White House raped children and laundered money, resulting in being blackmailed by multiple foreign governments to do their bidding.

I hope you donโ€™t forget it, either.
