After the public uproar against their first vote, you’d think the government would learn. Last night they voted AGAIN to allow private water companies to pour sewage into our rivers. The solution is clear: we need to take our water into public ownership.

Private firms have made £6.7 billion in profits from NHS contracts since January 2012.

"It's to make billions for the insurance companies."
"So strengthen the NHS. You need more money? Put money into it. But don't go the American route."

Selling it off would be an act of economic and cultural vandalism.
The coronavirus crisis is exposing the folly of privatisation.
When business is good, operators pocket huge profits. When business is bad, government steps in & pays anyway.
The system is designed so profits are privatised, but losses are nationalised.
