Prof Catherine Rowett 💚 Ex-MEP @catherinerowett@respublicae.eu

@andrewhesselden Nobody's enforcing any of the EU regulations any more. Our own regulators are useless and fines are cheaper (if you get one at all) than doing the job. Investment was required but hasn't been delivered. Bonuses are paid for profitable performance rather than good results.

RT @jarviboy1974uk: @andrewhesselden I do know someone who works in water Co, and it's Profit.

The chemicals used to treat raw sewage are now way more expensive, thanks to #torybrexitdisaster
It's cheaper to flush RAW SEWAGE and pay fines than purchase these chemicals.

#ToryGaslighting and GREED.

RT @andrewhesselden: Can anyone who works in a water company explain to me why before Brexit they didn’t need to put sewage in the sea but now they do? Is this only about profit or is there more to it?

Yeah and then we had the EU which had regulations for clean water, and rivers came back to life again. But the cons wanted to be rid of those so that the water companies could turn more profits to the shareholders.

Conservative MP @DamianGreen says water pollution from sewage dumping has always been an issue, but it used to be perceived as more acceptable

This country is riddled with influential people who spout neoliberal twaddle on the media day by day. Tufton street is riddled with it. Conservative party is riddled with it. Labour is riddled with it. We need to hear more real thinking about why that's destroying the UK.

RT @LindaHeyworth4: @Richard61982733 @catherinerowett To enrich the already neoliberal wealthy. They have paid out fat dividends to wealthy investors for years whilst putting little or no needed investment into the companies they own. It's aptly called asset stripping. Ruth Kelly, Tufton St 'Policy Exchange' is there to con us.

@WelchJacinta Yes, the water supply is something we can't choose another company for. So it makes no sense to privatise it, because there is no incentive to deliver good service. They have us trapped, as you say.
