Take the piggy bank from the greedy *** and back into public ownership.

It's a water company, not a cash machine for grasping scum.

"Superior status"? Give me a break, your inferiority complex is showing.

Boat Race is as bit of a non-event. Just going through the motions. 💩

Am I Right ?
I'm Not Wrong !

Well 70-80% of London & Thames Valley drinking water comes from the river(s) so... it must be good?

No wonder I've had the trots for the last 10 days.!
