MODERATORS
TL;DR: English water and sewage is handled by private, for-profit, companies that have majority ownership outside britain.
Furthermore the current chairman of the regulatory comission has previously been accused of misusing funds for Network Rail, abusing staff, accepting what amounts to bribes, etc.
Or in one word: capitalism.
