We Own It
Профиль VivelyAfter 40 years, privatisation of our public services has failed. It's time for public ownership. We use it, we pay for it, We Own It. https://weownit.org.uk/people-not-profit https://weownit.org.uk/act-now/donate
🔥🔥🔥"That statement is an untruth; it's a fabrication. It is totally disingenuous" Feargal Sharkey DEBUNKS Thames Water CEO's claim that public ownership means no investment in our water infrastructure Take action to demand the BBC and Ofcom correct the record: vist.ly/5d6q4
😡😡Thames Water CEO: public ownership means water investment would compete with health and defence. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. The truth is that every penny of Thames Water's planned investment will come directly from our water bills. Take 2 mins to complain to Ofcom and the BBC: vist.ly/5d5xb
If there is one thing that we all agree on, it is that privatisation of water has been a colossal failure The solution is simple: take our water into PUBLIC OWNERSHIP: vist.ly/5czje In a time of droughts and wildfires, running our water for profit is offensive
Private water companies have the gall to tell us to fix leaky loos to save water when they leak **billions of litres** DAILY by not fixing leaky pipes, while extracting billions in dividends Time to end this madness, Andy Burnham: vist.ly/5czji

💯"The key to the issue of hosepipe bans being needed is surely the privatisation of the water companies. They extract huge sums in dividends for their owners – largely investment funds not based in the UK – while failing to live up to their responsibility to maintain the water supply network."
We Own It in Left Foot Forward this week: “Thames Water is a symbol of everything that is currently wrong with our economic model... and Burnham knows this". This government mustn't hesitate to bring Thames Water into permanent public ownership. Sign our petition vist.ly/5cpqj
112 MPs have called for special administration of Thames Water. >10,000 members of the public have signed the petition calling on you to bring it into public hands. You have said this is what 'should' be done. Will you make good on your promises, @andyburnham.bsky.socia? vist.ly/5cmb7
"The GP records of more than half the country sit on a system controlled by a firm whose business model is returns for investors, not care for patients, and the public found out after the fact." And you thought Palantir's involvement in our healthcare was pretty dodgy... vist.ly/5ckj7
