To appease bankers Reeves says Thames Water should find โ€˜market-based solutionโ€™. Not possible. It is a monopoly, no competition, no choice. Since 1989 TW paid ยฃ10.4bn in dividends, ยฃ13.68bn interest payments. Rocketing bills, sewage in rivers. We can't afford more of the same. Nationalise water.

Friends...it's Friday! So here, for your enjoyment, is a 15th C. marginal fellow is off to have a good time with an amazing eel. I hope that your weekend plans include fun and amazing things, too! ๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ๐Ÿงช

Medieval marginal art showing a man holding a very large eel, and looking somewhat lustily at it. He is waring a blue robe, and he is bald on the top of his head. He's cradling the eel, and holding it up as if to kiss it, or study it closely. Or bite it. His mouth is open, so you never know. The man doesn't have legs, and the drawing ends in something that looks like an interlinear octopus tentacle. Is this an early form of tentacle porn? * Reasonable scholars will all agree that it is. In any event, you should never trust this man with either your eel or your child. It will end badly, no matter what. At the top of the page is another smaller drawing of a man's head at the end of something that looks like the body of a snake that ate a capybara. The man has a beard, and is looking back at his body as if to say,
