Unpalatable to the capitalists, but every service considered critical to life and wellbeing should be nationalised, not run for profit.

They'll be cheaper and better fit for purpose as a result, as the funds will pay for the service instead of making some people rich.

As for the sewage failures, the companies responsible should be bankrupted to cover the cost of putting things right, and the executives jailed for fraud...

All of those loans they took out that they used for dividends instead of actually spending on maintenance need to be recovered from the shareholders - by treating it as the profits of crime, which it was.

Ending sewage dumping will mean higher water bills

Call me cynical, but am I surprised?

We shouldn't back away to the cheaper option of maintaining the status quo, as has been the case for decades.

The work needs to be done. The UK is a disgrace continuing to dump raw sewage into the the sea.

Also some trains continue to to dump waste onto the tracks.
