Yes, it really is quite obscene for a government to turn an essential for basic living (water, light, heat, transport, mail ) into a commodity for exploitation/ profiteering.
How on earth were people fooled into something quite illogical:
a) Pay less
b) Get better service
c) Yet a Private company is offering this while it's existence is based on seeking profit for their shareholders

SO, what you're saying is that we all need to ensure we have these privatised utilities in our investment portfolios?
How are you managing to hold Thames Water shares in your portfolio?
