@Clivewratten is right in challenging the fees that are being applied for drop-off & collecting passengers at airports. Clearly it is being viewed as a revenue stream that unless it's challenged will continually be hiked!

UK Airport Drop-off Fees Petition -Turns out it’s not just me that despises UK airports’ extortionate drop-off fees. Nothing to do with me, but someone has started a petition to ban these charges: https://t.co/yvfGRpxLF0 Can get this to 10,000 signatures.?#airportparking

There is no water shortage in the UK. Just a shortage of water management. They want the public to be responsible for managing water rather than doing the job they are very well paid to do.
Since the privatisation of water, not a single English reservoir has been built. Indeed, since privatisation 25 of them have been sold-off for shareholder profit. You couldn’t make this stuff up.
