“Since Margaret Thatcher’s government privatised England’s water companies in 1989, debts have been piling up almost every year, going from no debt in 1989 to a combined £60.3bn between them in 2023. Over the three decades, water companies have paid close to £53.1bn as shareholder dividends – more than £83.7bn in today’s prices.” Saddling our essential service with massive debt to pay dividends! Privatisation a Tory flagship policy has made mugs of us all. #tories #privatisation
