But this is what Capitalism is, its not about creating things or maintaining things, but exploitation and grift.
Privatisation is a scam, like Brexit, and like Brexit we are not allowed to stop it. No matter how unpopular it is.
A smart government who wanted more than one term would do something about this, a weak government paving the way for Farage will promise action but deliver nothing.
Oh yeah, the Public backlash is quite scary, thankfully for the Rich the regulators are in their pocket and the public don't have access to firearms.
Also, only landowners are allowed to protest, so the thieving grifting scum can get away with this, and they will.....are we expecting British Law to hold the Rich to account?
