Ā šWhile Britain grapples with collapsing infrastructure and seas turned into cesspools, a small cabal of designer-suited CEO-saboteurs is busy peddling the boldest scam since snake oil: selling the nation its own waterāback, at full price, plus interest. Yes, the same privatised giants that turned our rivers into open sewers are now clutching their pearl-studded begging bowls and asking you to foot the cleanup bill. Itās not just audacity. Itās performance art in the medium of raw sewage.
šø Corporate Parasites with Platinum-Plated Pipelines
Picture this: a group of hedge fund geniuses who ran your water company like a Tinder dateācharming, reckless, and gone by morningānow turning up at the door, drunk on dividends, asking for a second chance.
They didnāt forget to fix the pipes. They chose not to. Why fund maintenance when thereās a Cayman Islands timeshare and a yacht that needs naming after your ego?
Hereās the business model in a nutshell:
- Load up the company with debt š£
- Milk it for every drop of dividend š„
- Skip the repairs š§
- Dump the poop š
- Cry poor š¦
- Ask taxpayers to clean the toilet š§¼
If that sounds less like capitalism and more like a hostage situation, thatās because it is. Except the hostage is public infrastructure, and the ransom note is being co-signed by the very regulators who shouldāve stopped this disaster decades ago.
And while theyāre at it, these suits want to remind youāwater is a āprivate good.ā Thatās rich, coming from men who privatise profit and nationalise catastrophe with the finesse of a Bond villain on benefits.
