Thames Water is teetering but wants to pay £2.5m bonus to execs.
Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments".
Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged.
Privatisation = Abuses and insanity.

BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff.
Changes to employee benefits would cut take-home pay by at least 6.25%.
Would exec pay and dividends be cut? No chance.
Hard-won rights eroded as corporations rule without ever being elected.
Back to Victorian times.

Anyhow, who really did pay for the house in Clacton & where did the money come from?
The press are deliberately letting the story slide away again aren't they.
This man wants to be PM so we, the electorate, have a right to know the true facts!

Today, England's water companies received their worst pollution ratings since records began.
Rising bills. Soaring profits. Sewage in our rivers and seas.
Enough is enough. Bring water back into public ownership, now.
