    Privatisation of water treatment has done wonders to help England on the way to not having clean drinking water. The old infrastructure they’ve been coasting on is starting to fall apart now. Love all that raw sewage straight into water systems.

    But at least some people made money, and isn’t that what it is all about after all?

      But His Majesty’s government graciously allows you to take 20 cubic meters of filthy river water per day! How could you possibly need more? /s
