Severn Trent's CEO received £3.2m despite the company's fine for sewage dumping, sparking criticism about the impact on health and the environment. Thames Water paid shareholders £230 per hour of sewage dumping, totaling £45.2m in dividends. Public outcry calls for an end to the privatization of water systems in England and Wales due to environmental and financial concerns, with allegations of neglect and lack of investment in infrastructure.
56 words. That's how much the Labour Party has given over to ending the sewage crisis in its manifesto. #LabourManifesto England's unique experiment with privatisation sees overseas shareholders making off with up to £1000 for every hour of pollution! https://t.co/Bf3Eb3XVV9
No one else runs water like England and Wales. Shareholders have ripped out £78 BILLION in dividends. They've pumped sewage into YOUR rivers and seas. The failed experiment must end. Public ownership NOW.https://t.co/UuizQYlDQJ
Thames Water paid its shareholders £230 for every hour it dumped sewage. Dumped sewage for 196,414 hours, paid £45.2m in dividends. 28% of customer bill is spent servicing Thames Water's debts. No new reservoir since 1989. Privatisation is a scam. https://t.co/mb8x2mxR8Z
Can Labour clean up England’s dangerously dirty water? “Not a single year since privatisation that Thames Water shareholders put in more money than they took out.” Only country in world with fully privatised water system. By @horton_official https://t.co/ai4gNY0FM0
Severn Trent boss paid £3.2m despite firm’s fine for sewage dumping. Rewarded for damaging human health, biodiversity, marine life and ripping-off customers. OFWAT does nothing to protect people. No execs ever fined/prosecuted. Privatisation is a scam. https://t.co/Msn1VDNdrA
