Helena Dollimore absolutely nails it. Thames Water is trying to tell us that If we don't let them off the £124m fines they've received they'll go bankrupt while at the same time trying to persuade us that it was OK for them to spend £349m on lawyers, consultants, advisors,

We’re pleased to see the inclusion of death and grief in the updated guidance for RHSE lessons in schools. However, it's important that teachers and education professionals have the confidence and easy access to high quality resources as an integral part of their training. 1/4

We don't need a new Ofwat, we need to go back to the early 1980's when there was no Ofwat, because we owned the Water. Like every other country on the planet.
