The firm pumped millions of litres of sewage into rivers, turning them black and killing fish.
So crazy that they just get a small fine for such large scale environmental damage. There should be prison sentences!
Ah but you see, the market will determine the real punishment, as informed consumers will now punish thames water by withdrawing their business (and forgoing drinking water, showers and laundry etc). This makes it all more efficient you see.
Isn’t thames water the water provider for large areas?
Weren’t they in the news few days ago because they have trouble providing?
Privatization of infrastructure, great as always lol
Another great example of great economics brought by Thatcher. Capitalise gains, socialise losses.
Absolutely ridiculous, stream premier league football get 11 years in jail. Dump sewage and ruin the rivers get £3.3m fine while making 100x that yeah seems legit.
Perhaps a new requirement for the board at Thames water: Every time they dump sewage in their river, a valve is activated that dumps sewage in their living room.
and how will they be paying this? just add it to the 14bn debt! we will pay it later when gov takes over.
