   Scottish water is publicly owned. It isn't full of shit. Novel idea that will never be mentioned in the current round of general hand wringing from South of the border. The UK media is really useless. https://www.scottishwater.co.uk/your-home/campaigns/top-up-tap-map

     @CloudyMrs On the contrary, the media does exactly what it's designed to do, to the detriment of Scotland, obviously.

     @msquebanh it's OK, I think you own half of the English water companies. Should even itself out eventually.

     @CloudyMrs I wish our water supplies in BC, Canada, were public owned.

     @Roadwarrior29 Agreed. The rule is that nothing can ever be reported about Scotland unless it is negative. No reporting of success stories make it past the censor.

     Our watersheds are under threats. We want them protected and in hands of public.

     We have Nestlé running under Blue Triton name, stealing fresh waters in BC, on unceded Indigenous lands. It's fucked up.

     @msquebanh sorry, I was being a bit glib. I was referring to the fact that
     Thames Water is owned by a group of investors spanning four continents. The largest is the Canadian pension fund, OMERS, with 31.8%. The whole thing is fucked up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66051555

     @vanitarium @Roadwarrior29 That is one question. Another is why would they ever want to report positive things about Scotland to Scots. I don't think they ever ask either of those questions. They just know not to do it.

     @Roadwarrior29 @CloudyMrs

     Why would we be interested in reporting positive things from Scotland to a country full of negatives and shite, like England??
