Genuine question: the Brexit economists planned to wind down car manufacturing, now seem to have decided farming isn’t needed either. What are they proposing we replace these sectors with?

Any Brexiters know? Is it just tax haven Singapore style or is there a plan to invest in any actual industries that create jobs?

Festival of Brexit to have a name change as the word Brexit is seen as a negative. Not even making it up.

I would laugh at them calling it Unboxed but it will probably turn out they've paid one of their mates millions to come up with that.

Catchy. The box is empty and there’s no one to deliver it. But apart from that…

It's worrying too.

It's the kind of nonsense spouted by leaders who have nothing to offer so do a bit of flag waving. Ends up with xenophobia and in the most extreme cases wars.

Someone needs to point out loving your country doesn't mean saying everything about it is great. It's extolling the things it does well and acknowledging the things it doesn't to improve.

It's tragic really. Water is such a precious commodity. Just think what we could have done with our infrastructure with all themoney we've paid out in dividends, instead we get rivers full of shit

The irony here is it's likely some continental company that owns these water companies.

Privatised water is so dumb and ideological. I’m not going to change water supplier because of competition or better product. There’s only one set of water pipes. It’s just a state backed monopoly.

Nice to see the Government of Norway with a stake...

Who owns your water and how they’ll try to keep it - Corporate Watch

If water privatisation is ended, one group in particular is going to lose out: the water companies’ shareholders. Safe to assume then, that they’ll be at the front of the pushback against such a move. So who are they? And how can they protect their position? We’ve mapped out the ownership of...

Just a thought. With the government giving the green light to water companies to dump untreated effluents directly into rivers and the sea I presume this means that the water companies are exempt from fines for doing so? Couple that with a lower bills for chemicals could be some big dividends paid out to share holders in the next twelve months. If that does happen shouldn’t the dumping of effluent be linked to a rebate to their customers instead of profits to their share holders?

It’s the same for most things that have been privatised from public ownership in this country, foreign governments end up owning a bigger stake in UK infrastructure than the UK government.

Yep....all natural monopolies should be in public hands.....not run for the benefit of shareholders.

I'm not really sure why this has ended up in a brexit thread tbh? It was Thatcher that started this farce, and then Blair supercharged it......the cunts have been pumping shit into rivers for well over 30 years.....and because OFWAT are not fit for purpose, we're even forced to pay through the nose for the privilege....

I think its ended up in this thread because Johnson, or perhaps one of his minions, said something along the lines of we will have improved environmental standards when we leave the EU.

That and part of the reason it isn’t being treated is because of availability of the required chemicals which brexit is impacting.

Who have struggled to find anything positive about the budget to the extent of having Ed Sheerens diet on the front page instead.
