If it's fine to dump whatever they want into the sea and rivers, what's to stop someone dumping a large amount of concrete directly over their vents? If it happens to fill and block their pipes, that's their problem.
“sorry but due to increased vandalism in your area, we’re raising your water bill by 50%. feel free to complain to your MP who let us do this on the basis that we made a large donation to his re-election campaign and offered him a cushy director job when he’s finished. also, we’ll be doubling our shareholder dividend this year. thanks!”
Do you honestly think is NOT filling their pipes with concrete would stop them raising prices by 50%, if they thought they could get away with it?
I'm sorry right back. Points gun
choose one :(
I choose guns.
I nether condemn or condone these actions, but if anyone needs cement for whatever reason I have some leftover in the garage.
Their lawyers
The same ones that made up this stupid defense and have zero need to honor it
I know it's often a lawyers job to throw anything and everything at the wall to see what sticks, but I feel there needs to be some consequences for bad faith, or in this case inhuman, arguments. Like, it fully reveals the priorities of the company and shows there is significant culture rot.
Better to gather up everyone at South West Water, every shareholder, dig a hole to put them in, and dump the cement over them. A more permanent solution to such problems.
