      Leave Curious did a great video about this. It’s not just Thames Water, it’s many more water companies in the UK. 72 billion pounds has been paid out in dividends since the water companies were privatised in the 80s, meanwhile the companies say they don’t have money to do the necessary investments in the infrastructure. Privatisation of public infrastructure is the biggest scam in history. https://youtu.be/wDO81MUWWEY?si=adnbxPvHX3aq9FRZ
