Those living in basement flats have borne the brunt of the floods.
Their lives and possessions have been wrecked by Thames Water owned by rapacious despotic investors like the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and China
Our basic needs are in the hands of grubby investors from countries you would not want your gap year daughter sending postcards from.
How did this come to be and does it matter?
Leaving aside the moral issue we need to understand that these investors are seeking sky-high returns at the expense of Londoners having to endure a rubbish service and toxic flooding.
There is a well-based rumour floating like scum on floodwater that Thames Water failed to turn on a vital sewage outlet pump.
If that is a sustainable accusation it might seem that a class action is in the making.
We are wasting billions on HS2 yet cannot sort out the drains!
Great post Dame. Looking out for our heritage, legacy and quality of life.
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolute scandal. The Regulator should impose a huge fine on Thames Water. This is the only thing that investors understand, unfortunately.
More clear thinking from the Dame. Public utilities need protection from greedy foreign investors and Venture Capitalists.
