I still don’t think many people have clocked how massive this story actually is. Thames Water is carrying £19.8bn of debt, up 2 billion in a single year, and it will run out of money before Christmas. £19.8bn against 16 million people who cannot switch, can’t leave, and cannot stop drinking water. That’s about £1,240 per head. 5 grand for a family of four. In some way, shape, or form, they’re on the hook for it. That’s the part that I don’t think has landed yet. This isn’t a story about sewage in the Thames, or bonuses, or another regulator caught asleep. The actual event is 30 years of a monopoly being used as collateral by people who knew its customers could never walk away. The bill has now come due… and it’s a big one. The pipes and the infrastructure were never the real asset. The 16 million captive water drinkers were. What’s going to really sting is the fact there’s only two ways this gets settled. Your bill goes up, substantially, or your taxes do. Most likely both, and it’ll be on a schedule designed in a way so you don’t notice the hit, in an attempt to suppress the rage you should rightly be feeling. And before anyone tells me the creditors are taking a 30% haircut, look at what they’ve asked for in return. Fines waived until 2030. Pollution targets “significantly modified.” Bills raised above what the regulator allows. That isn’t exactly them eating the loss now, is it. That’s them buying a regulatory holiday, on debt most of them bought at distressed prices. Nobody voted for this, nobody borrowed it, and nobody saw the benefit of it. The debt was loaded onto a captive customer base over 30 years and paid out to shareholders who have long since gone. 16 million people are about to find out that they co-signed something they were completely unaware of. Now, this is what should worry us all. Thames isn’t a rogue outlier, it’s just the first one to fully hit the wall. English water carries north of £60bn of debt. Southern is already junk rated, needed a £1.2bn rescue from its shareholders, and its customers are looking at a 48% bill rise this decade before you count what the CMA added on top. Every one of these companies borrowed heavily when money was free and now have to refinance it all in a world where it isn’t, while being told to spend billions on infrastructure they left rotting for 30 years. Thames is just the first and most visible of what will likely end up being a line of dominoes. Maybe Burnham nationalises Thames Water. But ask yourself… how many more will need to be nationalised? And who do you think pays for that?

🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇱Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly warned Russia against transferring the S-400 air defense system to Turkey, saying such a move could seriously damage Israel–Russia relations and even put future bilateral agreements at risk. In response, 🇷🇺Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly said that Russia does not bow to threats and will make its own sovereign decisions. He added that Moscow is free to strengthen defense cooperation with Turkey, including the potential delivery of the S-400 system, regardless of outside pressure. "We are an independent nation and will decide our own policies. Russia will continue pursuing agreements that serve its national interests."

🚨 THE TRUTH DESERVES TO BE HEARD It took me a long while to do this - as I kept getting upset and perhaps that was triggered after I had to watch the Oppenheimer movie again, to understand the small print.. the knowledge that what you do may cause global genocide, but the calculation of the need to do that under exceptional circumstances. There are no exceptions I will understand as to why genetic manipulation on a global scale took place from 2020, managed and planned and even sadly funded by the United States - manifested as the covid pandemic This is not pleasant and is not something that everyone will agree with by any means. It would be an immediate ban had I said it a few years ago, but now I know that even Elon Musk understands how the injured, the disabled and the censored are just as damaged as the billions of people whose lives were changed...by grief and loss Sadly this loss may not be something they have yet realized is still waiting in the wings... like HIV, the insert that was deliberately crafted into it... and some horrendously expert bioengineering, worthy of the Manhattan Project #genetics #covid #science

Just when you think you've seen it all! How much worse can it get before the masses finally wake up? Sadly, so many people are still falling for the same propaganda lie that everything is just fine.. and anyone questioning the official narrative is labeled a conspiracy theorist Many thanks to our friend @PatriJosephM87 for sharing this video with us

@GBC_Press Unfortunately, the US “ Justice System” has been fully X-posed as a corrupt, broken, biased, two tiered, unequal,infiltrated by political operatives, weaponized against political enemies, Sham. All charges, verdicts are manufactured based on fake false fraudulent claims.

I raised again this week in the debate about the illegal & brutal expansion of Israeli settlements on the West Bank the cases of the disappearance by Israeli forces of Dr Mazen Al Rantisi & the continued imprisonment of Dr Husam Abu Sadiya, whose life we fear is now at risk.

CDC Whistleblower: “We buried the data on autism links to vaccines." In 2014, Dr. Brian Hooker recorded CDC senior scientist Dr. William Thompson admitting to a massive cover-up. Thompson confessed that he and top CDC officials buried data showing a link between the MMR vaccine and autism. “Thimerosal causes autism-like features. I’m completely ashamed of what I did!" He named names: Colleen Boyle, Frank DeStefano, Marceline Moulton, all under Dr. Julie Gerberding, who later became President of Merck Vaccine Company. This was a confession from a lead CDC author on the very studies used to deny any link. The public deserves truth and the victims deserve justice!

You may be forgiven for thinking that flappy Farage is confused, after his recent pantomime of resigning as MP for Clacton, only to re-stand as a candidate in a by-election. But make no mistake, his mind is very clearly made up where fox hunting is concerned. Farage has always been very vocal in his support of fox hunting claiming that should be become Prime Minister, he would repeal the Hunting Act. Farage is so out of touch with the majority of the population who want to see an end to hunting. This is just one of the many many reasons not to vote for flappy Farage.

As the UK swelters: "MPs are calling on the UK government to host a televised national #ClimateEmergency briefing in response to what has been described as the most 'insidious threat to our society'” #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/environment/20…

ONE LOGIN: "This will be worse than the Horizon scandal" @DavidDavisMP The more personal data that is concentrated in one place, the greater the consequences if something goes wrong. Stronger oversight, transparency and safeguards must be in place before any expansion of One Login proceeds Are we comfortable with this level of concentration of sensitive data? #OneLogin @NAOorguk

This is the United Nations now! The organization responsible for ensuring human rights! I received an invitation to attend this conference and I declined it after knowing that the people who are deeply complicit in the genocide in Lebanon and Palestine, killing civilians using AI technologies are being given the opportunity to brag about this in public using UN stage! I condemn the UN shameful partnership with criminal tech companies at this conference, as well as the human rights violations and violence that accompanied the removal of protesters.

JUST IN: 🇸🇪🇮🇱 Sweden has announced that it will invite all countries to join the genocide case filed by South Africa against Israel.
