Run water, post, and other utilities as public services
One quarter of England depends on Thames Water for water and sewage. It is now so near being unable to deal with its debts that there is talk of the government renationalising it. Why? After privatisation of water in 1989, the private owners sucked out billions in dividends, covered by loading the company with more and more debt. Thames Water is also the worst water company in England for leaks due to ill-maintained pipes. Others do worse for dumping raw sewage into rivers, but Thames Water is bad on that too.
