If you had your child at the same age as Adrian Mole, you might just qualify for a place on the Erasmus scheme. Well done to the minister responsible getting that restored.
These are all a waste of time. These prank things only preach to the converted. Need to come up with something that actually gets to the people on the other side instead of continually calling them thick and dumb. Funny that. Insulting the voters you want to change the minds of doesn't work...........but they keep on with that strategy.
Call me cynical, but the privatisation of the Water companies, under Thatcher's Tories, iirc, was nothing more than a 'get rich quick' scheme for people with money to spare - Under price the Utilities, pretend it's for the purposes of greater investment, then allow people to sell the shares that they paid far too little for, and 'Hey Presto' - all those already rich people were able to increase their finances without doing anything. What's that? Utilities are being under-financed? Money is being siphoned off to fat cats with no thought of the wider issues in society? I hadn't appreciated that people are only in it for themselves, and altruism isn't uppermost in everyone's dealings. Oh, well, at least Tories got rich, so not all bad.
Its always the haves that make money........and in the western world that includes the ones on the "left." Like pigs in a trough.
Water is an essential requirement for life. People may be able to put up an argument for the privatisation of other public services, but water should never ever have been part of it.
