Thames Water wants to pollute UK rivers with illegal sewage dumping until 2040, pay no fines, law already permits some sewage dumping.
Will still want profits, pay megabucks to execs, dividends and fleece customers.
Public ownership is the only way out.

OFWAT is considering allowing Thames Water to break the rules and dump sewage in our rivers and seas for the next 15 years.
