You're right, of course: I was referring just to the symptoms, but the cause of them is a much more important issue, and it is indeed the extremely poor model used for the privatisation of the water companies. As Caroline Lucas told parliament last year, the "water companies had no debt when they were privatised. Since then, they have borrowed £53 billion, and much of that has been used to help pay £72 billion in dividends. Meanwhile, we have an appalling sewage scandal, particularly in the south-east of England." In particular, over the last five years Thames Water has spent over a quarter (27.8%) of its income on servicing the almost £15 bn in debt it has loaded onto the company. |
