I don't know what the anglos are smoking

Neoliberalism Kush

Not the whole island. Scotland's water is entirely publicly owned (and great).

and with all of that, the thames hasnt been as clean as it is now in like 500 years :D aint neoliberal deindustrialization great? :D

Not only is it expensive, but now pretty much every water source is now contaminated with shite and waste.

In fact, in the case of Thames Water, it's been such a failure that it's tainted the entire image of privatisation, to the extent that even under the desperate Tories, plans have emerged to re-nationalise it and fuck over all the scumbag investors.
