We have evidence water bosses could be personally guilty of public nuisance. Yet they walk free while they continue to pollute our rivers and sea, dumping shit for millions of hours per year. Meanwhile ordinary people are harassed for pouring away half a cup of coffee.

For the avoidance of doubt. This is how privatised water companies already made a lot of money. Money the shareholders should be forced to return as the proceeds of crime, not allowed to keep polluting and raise bills to bail out their greed. @Feargal_Sharkey @EmmaforWycombe
