Thames water 60 billion in debt
But paid out 72 billion in bonuses to shareholders.
And pumping raw sewage in to the Thames.
Now they want to put the price up ?
Capitalism at it's best.

Now half of the Oxford Cambridge rowing team have got
e-coli virus from the water.
Apparently they were rowing through poo.

I remember many years ago where North West Water were selling off reservois to builders to put up large houses. That same year there were water shortages and hose-pipe bans..

60 billion in debt? 72billion in bonuses to share holders?
Where do these figures come from?
