So crazy that they just get a small fine for such large scale environmental damage. There should be prison sentences!
Ah but you see, the market will determine the real punishment, as informed consumers will now punish thames water by withdrawing their business (and forgoing drinking water, showers and laundry etc). This makes it all more efficient you see.
Absolutely ridiculous, stream premier league football get 11 years in jail. Dump sewage and ruin the rivers get £3.3m fine while making 100x that yeah seems legit.
Perhaps a new requirement for the board at Thames water: Every time they dump sewage in their river, a valve is activated that dumps sewage in their living room.
Isn't thames water the water provider for large areas?
Weren't they in the news few days ago because they have trouble providing?
Privatization of infrastructure, great as always lol
Another great example of great economics brought by Thatcher. Capitalise gains, socialise losses.
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
