PISSING IN OUR BOOTS...

The same river as the one below, May 2006.
Some parts of Southern England are experiencing the worst drout since records began.
Restrictions on use of water have already started, and the possibility of the public having to get water by the bucket from standpipes in the street is highly likely.
Privatised water companies have this year made £2 Billion in profits, and England's leaky pipes remain the among the worst in the western world, with 3 billion litres of water lost EVERY DAY.
Fix the pipes and suddenly there wouldn't be a water shortage.
The cost of doing that?
About £2 billion.
So, a bad year for water, but NEVER a bad year for water profits.
Fuckers.
