There’s a very good reason Scotland did not privatise water 🏴
“Since water was sold off to private hands in England and Wales in 1989, companies have racked up at least £64 billion in debt, paid at least £78 billion in dividends to shareholders, and chronically under-invested in vital infrastructure. The results are toxic—literally. Raw sewage is regularly discharged into rivers and seas.”
