Preferably with their bare hands!

I like your style…👍👏👏👏👏

Fat cats digging fatbergs. There's a pleasant symmetry in that 😁

What an excellent idea!

Will “chili” Con Carney privatize Canadian water? He is prioritizing fossil fuels. -2x coal exports -dredge Vancouver, bitumen tankers - kill tourism & 3 endangered whale species with oil spills Prince Rupert, BC new Bitumen pipeline -LNG 33% dirtier than coal for 40 years when produced & shipped.

That and when they’re done, pick up a bigger shovel still and go dig me a reservoir…

I'm actually sick of this subject, I've been arguing against the water monopolies for too long. It infuriates me that here's one thing that would make this government popular & they won't dare go near it. Pathetic!😠

💯 I would write to my MP, @johnwhitbymp.bsky.social He's supposed to be Labour, but I wouldn't even get an automated response!

First, they need to be found guilty of something the judge can give a community order for. Suggestions on a postcard, please.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social following this excellent logic, might we similarly redeploy billionaires to rotate as PAs for NHS nurses, school teachers, and social workers and those providing care in the community?

Can we send anyone who voted in favour of the welfare bill too please?

Lucky all the fat cats are on Ozempic or else they might accidentally be going at one another with shovels!

Together with those producing millions of wet wipes.

Maybe their bonuses could be linked to how much fat they shift?

Shareholders should not be immune.

And recycle Tories who caused the whole thing by stuffing them into our sewage outfall pipes.

They could film it as reality TV and enough people would want to watch it that they could fix some of the pipes with the proceeds!

Now there's something I'd love to see - corporate execs in the sewers digging out the fatbergs. I have to admit I'd be happy just to see them in a sewer or even fishing turds out of the rivers blighted by their corporate malfeasance.

Those avaricious execs should be joined by all the MPs & former MPs (Coffey et al) who voted for the repugnant policies that enabled these turds to do this

Absolutely 💯

Just been to the nidderdale museum and seen the film on the building of the 3 reservoirs. Makes you wonder how we did back in the old days and one was near enough on budget.

Eh, for £3.3 million per annum, I'd dig a fatberg out of a sewer! I doubt they would though.

Perhaps just re nationalise all public utilities as social enterprises or mutuals George. After all they wouldn’t be very good at digging shit out of sewers. Oh and perhaps confiscate bonuses and share options etc.

I've seen 4 burst water mains since Yorkshire Water introduced the hosepipe ban. Nationalise utilities sooner rather than when it's too late. #Drought #WaterShortage #LeakingPipes

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social I'm not 100% sure but I don't think Christian Louboutin makes safety boots.

Hard to figure that one out...they put through very quickly an Act of Parliament to renationalise 'failing and rip-off' train companies... but the 'failing and rip-off' water companies and their bosses... er no we'd rather not.🤔

Can only think the Water Companies are even more complicated..🤔

Except in Scotland 😉 Our water isn’t privatised.

Incredible that people in England live in the only place on this earth where it is fully 100% privatised.

Sweet justice

Shovelling shit on river banks would work too.

It's picking the wet wipes and sanitary towels out of the trees after high water that gets you. As a canoeist, trust me, I know.

That's just grim.

It really, really is. There are places I won't go because I know how sick I would get if I capsized.

If you arrange things so deceitfully that politicians are beneficiaries of privatisation, you should expect the whole exercise to be a complete failure for everyone else. Labour is as corrupt and incompetent as the Conservatives.

100% true.

Politicians are civil servants, servants do what their employer tells them not what they want to do.I wonder how much goes in envelopes from water companies to whom in the government.

Wearing 'Community Payback' jackets

Now that is an amazing idea for a documentary.

They’re currently being redeployed into new and exciting grift opportunities. spring-innovation.co.uk/2025/07/15/p...

Jobs for the boys

We have a government, but it definitely seems it isn’t for the people 😒.

Maybe better to replace the water company executives with fatbergs...

The business of government is to provide essential services. The business of business is to make money. And within those two sentences lies all you need to know about the possibilities, opportunities and dangers of outsourcing and privatisation.

A form of distributive justice we would love to see

Just pay people a quid per gram of fatberg they harvest still be cheaper than their bonuses

Fatberg harvesting it even sounds like a CONservative con :-) You can bet a tenner they have found a buyer for 2quid a gram they just ignore the bit where he said he'd use it for cooking oil at his chippy chain. :-) Sorry.

Now I can’t unlearn a word.

What did Margaret Thatcher ever do for us? oh yes, privatized every fucking national utility, what could possibly go wrong? What a cunt😩

Labour and Starmer and reeves in particular are continuity conservatives.
