Thames water has to be allowed to go bust, and the shareholders need to lose their shirts, because that’s what has to happen when a company is so badly run. Otherwise the abuse will continue.

However, I would like to keep my water supply so somebody has to sort this situation out quickly.

The supply hasn’t been looked after, but less obviously, they have been pouring waste into rivers, creeks and the sea. Profit!

Sadly, as a customer of Thames Water, I can say there's 0% chance the gov will them fail. It'll either end up with tax money being pumped in, or a shocking increase of the prices.
