Before anyone likes to have a go at Baggytrazzas.. For hosing a mat, just remember the Water companies sold off by the Tories , are leaking water by the gallon ! Just saying !
I think that Gordon Brown's comment about the power companies could be applied here. Any water company not mending broken pipes or putting effluent into rivers or the sea should be Nationalised. Then the government could monitor and control them and they might get on and get them mended.
Excellent point sylla12.
When water was nationalised, there was massive under-investment in often ancient and crumbling infrastructure.
I know many people don’t want to hear this, but it’s a fact, from sources that had no axe to grind, one way or the other.
This doesn’t mean that IMO the privatised water companies are perfect, very far from it. But it’s no use pretending that nationalisation invariably meant perfect efficiency. It didn’t.
Nationalised British Rail was another case of Far From Perfect, as many of us will remember.
As so often, governments of whatever colour Doing Things On The Cheap.
