£145,000 water bill for one house …

ONE north London house recently received a bill from Thames Water for £145,000

Thames repaid it as a goodwill gesture.

An elderly friend in a Crouch End flat not so long ago received a bill from Thames for £4,000 but in that case, the refund was not made so promptly.

Customer bills and colossal borrowing—c. £20,000,000,000—by the grifters at Thames have funded meagre investment in infrastructure.

Meanwhile, estimates of the dividends paid by the English companies to their shareholders range between £55,000,000,000 to £75,000,000,000.

A month ago Green Party peer Jenny Jones wrote that she'd, refuse to pay the sewage charge in my bill while you pollute Britain’s rivers and coastlines.

When will the Labour government return this chronically failed utility into public hands, as a "gesture of goodwill" ?
