DeborahMeaden Correct, but shouldn't the CEOs be hit as hard as the companies themselves? ie if we ever get some sort of justice.

DeborahMeaden Debs, change you’re profile pic. We’re not as young as we used to be bab.

DeborahMeaden I beg to differ the investment has been there it’s just that it’s not been spent on maintenance or modernisation it’s gone straight into the pockets of all the foreign investors who now own our water companies in the form of bonuses. While they dump 💩into our rivers and seas.

DeborahMeaden Can we have Deborah as an MP please, we'd finally get someone with integrity and intelligence then 🙏

DeborahMeaden We were told privatisation would increase investment, it was it true the profits went on dividends.

DeborahMeaden Remember it’s only English & Welsh waters. Scottish Government opted to keep Scottish Water publicly owned.Shareholders are the Scots. All Profit is reinvested, none to multinational money houses. Scottish water, rivers, beaches etc are clean & delicious
