Feargal is talking about this petition petition.parliament.uk/petit…
Ignore the governments attempt to put you off with its untrue response. Take control of your bills away from the profiteers.

So appears I'm not liked by at least 1 senior govt adviser.
That's a badge I'll happily pick up off the floor and wear with dignity and honour. Here's a hint. Sort out the water industry, fix our rivers and you need never speak my name ever again.
Massive thank you once again to Patrick Galbraith @PaddyGalbraith and all at the @Telegraph for the coverage and support.

Fantastic response - On the way to 150K signed
petition.parliament.uk/petit…
Thank you if you signed and shared and have not submitted to apathy or despair.
Nor fallen for the shameful 'takes years, too expensive, will stop progress' lies we have called out from @DefraGovUK
Next, we will ask the big NGOs if they will support the public having a say.
If you haven't already - and please share and ask them to share and keep sharing - this should be our water, but it became a cash machine.
You can fight back.

A @We_OwnIt campaign move, getting DEFRA to accept a letter advising a move to public ownership for water and sewage.
I'm here with @Feargal_Sharkey and the two stars of #DirtyBusiness, @ashsmith43 and @watervole3

Feargal Sharkey brands '£100billion' cost of nationalising water 'nonsense'.
Spot on.
They inflate investment by capitalising part of interest, repair/maintenance cost.
Govt says Thames Water is worth £21bn. KKR wouldn't pay £4bn.
Nationalise water.

"The industry is broken. Introducing regulations, penalties and blocking bonuses clearly is not working"
Well said @EmmaLewell 🙌
More regulation is simply rearranging the deckchairs, while our pockets empty and our rivers fill with sewage.
Public ownership NOW, beginning with the collapsing Thames Water.
Emma Lewell MP has signed our open letter to Ofwat urging them to take Thames Water into special administration. Has your MP signed? weownit.org.uk/mps-open-lett…

Over a decade of campaigning 😔
Still no promised plan from Northumbrian Water 😡
Only nationalisation will fix our water industry 🌊

I spoke with Rob, a Makerfield resident and Environment Agency whistleblower featured in Channel 4's 'Dirty Business'.
He wants to see Andy Burnham @andy4makerfield elected and water brought into public ownership.

The government is not only failing to fix the crisis in the water sector. They are lying about the only real solution to that crisis, public ownership.
WATCH @ashsmith43 of @WindrushWasp DEBUNK the lies about water nationalisation.

The call for public ownership of the water industry is growing louder everyday.
Why are govt refusing a referendum, why are govt refusing to allow the public to decide?

⁉️Why should the profits from our water bills be privatised, but the water companies debts be nationalised?
🚰 Let's build on our progress on water to clean up the industry and put it back in public hands

The Government keeps claiming that taking water into public ownership would cost too much.
Yesterday we, along with our fab supporters Feargal Sharkey WASP, the campaigners behind Channel 4's Dirty Business, delivered a message loud and clear to them. Their figures are nonsense.
If you want MPs to have a serious debate about water, sign the petition: vist.ly/579yw

90% of countries in the world can own their water but not us. People in England want their water back. But the government is protecting private water profiteers.
It’s time to give the public a say. @Feargal_Sharkey wants you stand up and be counted. Sign the petition: vist.ly/576px

And that is because it is nonsense, pure unadulterated, made up nonsense.

Fellow Thames Water customers, especially, we are literally on the verge of being forced to pay for our own exploitation. In a scam this would be like funding the fraudsters expenses.
You can fight back - sign and share this petition for a water referendum petition.parliament.uk/petit… the government is trying hard to put you off signing, and THAT tells you it will work.
Please sign and please share widely - petition is UK wide

Thames Water's customs still getting screwed I see. And Ofwat does what exactly?

We are going to this, with @We_OwnIt in London at 1pm today to ask the two Emmas - Ministers - to stop the cynical water lies coming out of government @DefraGovUK
The public deserves the truth and the public, not the profiteers, deserves the choice.
