They are doing a U-turn on that.

Stir up the waters: how campaigners forced the UK to U-turn on raw sewage

Social media outrage and viral footage of effluent discharging into the sea forced the government to change course

...or more accurately they've said they will consider doing a u-turn. Nothing has actually changed and once the news cycle moves on there is no certainty laws will change accordingly.

How many here bought shares when they sold off water?

Very few, I’d imagine; most share ownership of the water corporations is foreign, institutional and tax haven based. Some on here will ‘own’ shares at some remove through their pension schemes eg the U.K. universities scheme owns 2% of all U.K. water shares.

I don't think we can criticise that too much, the buying of dead cert shares was basically a bribe. I would have had some of that free cash too had I been able to. It was just a political ploy, the ideology behind it always was flawed. Pissing away the country's assets for political gain

True enough, I wanted none of it though for any of the sell-offs.

Of course insider dealing has only been illegal in the uk since 1980, before then it was a commonplace way of the moneyed class getting something for nothing. Trying to make the stock market appealing to lower classes was why these share give aways were used, and it worked I suppose.

It’s mad, I can’t remember now where I saw it but apparently the amount of money given to shareholders since privatisation is a good match for the amount of investment it would have required to get the whole system to standard.

You leading the boycott campaign with bimble?

One customer, David Bright, said: “I’m done with shopping @Morrisons ... I can live with union flags on bananas, but the gratuitous slight on the EU is too much.”

 

[TopCat]

Others liked the label because it was divisive. “Have to say a very well done to Morrisons, this has upset all the right people.”

One customer described the union-flag on Mornflake porridge oats as “very unpleasant and quite intimidating”.

Creamy Superfast Oats – Mornflake - Mighty Oats

We carefully cut the oats into three before gently rolling them. The smaller oat flakes absorb the water or milk quicker, making them cook superfast, perfect for a smooth and creamy porridge.
