£1million pay package including a £270k bonus for CEO Susan Davy for helping poison 140 people in Devon.
 
 
£4.5 billion paid out in dividends since privatisation. £3.79 billion racked up in debt. That's just South West Water.
 
The whole purpose of privatisation is to increase market competition, so how do we switch water suppliers?

I seem to recall that everyone(?) was in favour of privatisation when Thatcher introduced it.

I don't think anyone was in favour of replacing public monopolies with private monopolies.
