The Conservative Party

[Vic]

Hartlepool voted Conservative - seems one influencer was that the Tories provided them with food banks when Labour didn't (eh?) - now they may burn in a fire - I wonder if Jill will survive the next GE? Another of the 2019 intake failing their constituents

England's 9 big water firms have accrued debts of £54b since 1989.
Over the same period they have paid out £65.9b in dividends to shareholders.
20% of each customer's bill goes towards servicing debt & rewarding shareholders.
70% of water firms are now owned by foreign entities and we have actual shit pouring into our seas and rivers, on a daily basis.
Tories and ideology eh. What are they like?

Of all the privatisations, I would say the water utilities were the least justified. There is literally no consumer choice. An absolute fucking disgrace.

There should be NO consumer choice, we should own it.

That was sort of the point of my post.

In 1979 Britain (that is, of course, us) owned our energy, water, transport, postal service, telecoms infrastructure, trains and railways, millions of social houses, sat on a huge North Sea Oil reserve and only had a National Debt of £80bn.
In 2022 Britain has no discernible assets and a National Debt of £2.5Tn.
The Tories have sold so much of Britain, there’s virtually nothing left.

I wonder how long it will be until they start telling us a vote for labour or the SNP in the next GE will be what Putin wants? The contempt these cunts have for the general population knows no depths.

But remember they were sold to create a market and competition because that raises services and lowers prices............oh no .......wait...........

The new note on the desk when they leave will be

“Not only is there no money left but everything else has gone as well
