    Paula's going to jail, surely. Absolute travesty that she's not as big a national hate figure as, say, 'Fred the Shred' was.

    Are there any conspiracies doing the rounds about this being the work of THE PATRIARCHY? Almost all of the bad guys seem to be women.

    Er, wot? How far do you go with this stuff? We built a car park on top of Richard III and no one was that fussed, but if we're going to be that concerned about the 93bn humans that came before us (and are very much dead not giving a shit) we should probably pack up our tools now.

    With all the legitimate problems going on around the world, it really is a wonder that people manage to fund such unimportant shite to care about.

    It's by design. Get the little people angry about skin binding and flags on football kits so they haven't got time to revolt against the really bad stuff.

    "We should have always been using a percentage of your water bill to improve infrastructure but we didn't, so we need another 40% off you to do it without impacting shareholder bonuses."

    The cheek of these cunts.

    Anything that happens in universities should just be ignored.

    Chris Weston said he wanted to "reassure our customers that it is very much business as usual for Thames Water".

    He said the company was "quite a long way off" from nationalisation and "a lot that has to happen" beforehand.

    However, he said it was "eventually possible".
    So it's happening.

    Instead of fannying about removing 150-year old skin from books, universities should do real work like not having to rely on Johnny Foreigner for baked beans.

    Oh it's inevitable for sure. Just having to pay off these leeches hurts though. Having said that, FT said in 2019 it would cost about £14.5bn to nationalise water (probably £20bn now), versus £100bn for this HS2 shambles so far.

    EDIT: Out the way wullie

    Make them half the water bill and they'd be happy to talk.

    Apparently George Osborne intervened directly to stop Ofwat preventing Macquarie's debt-financed takeover of Thames Water.

    Obviously Osborne is a cunt but how is he not a lot more hated? He should be in the gallows.

    Now the BBC are piling in.

    Somebody's gonna get absolutely fucked. Quite possibly the lawyers and consultants.

    Spreading my whining over two threads, but NHS management culture is exactly the same as this was.

    I'd love to see a Netflix documentary on this robbery.
