Spot on. Imho Kemble should be allowed to fail, and the shareholders should not be bailed out. Their attempt to hold Ofwat to ransom is unacceptable. They should be told to contribute more money. If they won't, Thames Water should go into special administration.

Nobody cares only the culture war warriors

Dirty badta*ds

No wonder the country is in decline.

No 10’s constant meddling when it comes to big jobs is corrupting the integrity of public postings, and turning institutions into political pawns. It's ironic that it's George Osborne of all ppl who now tries to stop it at the BM. V interesting. Charlotte Higgins theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
