There’s a very good reason Scotland did not privatise water 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

β€œSince water was sold off to private hands in England and Wales in 1989, companies have racked up at least Β£64 billion in debt, paid at least Β£78 billion in dividends to shareholders, and chronically under-invested in vital infrastructure. The results are toxicβ€”literally. Raw sewage is regularly discharged into rivers and seas.”
