Re: How to avoid a hose pipe ban's in the future

I'd have to respectfully disagree with you there. It is mass immigration. It's more than 200.000 but let's use that figure. 1 million extra people every 5 years on the most densely populated country in Europe. And you say this will have little affect on utilities? Wow

They've just said on the news that 1,300 migrants crossed the channel yesterday alone. That's close to half a mil a year alone in illegals, not counting the legal numbers and others we're not being told about.

We've grown up with immigration and it never used to be a problem. That, however, was long before we had this kind of situation and these sorts of numbers.

If you believe these figures of 200,000, you're allowing yourself to be manipulated and lied to.
The figures are a hell of a lot bigger for sure.

These immigrants are being kept in hotels while social housing is found for them. Our own family members are finding themselves homeless and dossing in dangerous places such as the huggard centre with no end in sight, whilst these people are being housed all around us within months. The waiting list is apparently 10 years for social housing.
It's not for the immigrants though!

I'm sorry, but toeing the line the government are feeding you is akin to turning a blind eye and an "ignorance is bliss" mentality.
It's a massive problem that is only growing worse every day.

Severn Trent alone waste 415m litres of water a day. The average person uses 150L of water a day.

That’s 2.7m people worth of water that is wasted in a day due to poor infrastructure from just Severn Trent.

Immigration isn’t causing a shortage of water.

Re: How to avoid a hose pipe ban's in the future

The 'problem' here is that, generally speaking, we get plenty of rain in this country, and it's only when we have a real dry summer that there is a problem. So there is no incentive for the water companies to do anything to the infrastructure, to fix leaks, or to improve distribution. Why should they? - there is (usually) no need. So they take our money, pay themselves big wages and bonuses, and pass the rest on to their shareholders.

I'm sure almost every old Country in the World that has old pipes eventually has some leaks? Yes put more focus on fixing them, but also instal meters so people pay for what they use, as I say you wouldn't average out gas and say use as much as you like, as some peope are bound to take the piss, and that will lead to future hosepipe bans.

Re: How to avoid a hose pipe ban's in the future

we've had the hottest year on record (probably) and a handful of places will have a hosepipe ban for a few weeks.

No, it is not the cause. But it could be the cure. Let's gather up all the migrants and get them to fix the leaks. Outside of the box - a bit like our "strikers".

If the average person in Britain uses 150 litres perday. Where is the sense in increasing the official population of Britain by a City the size of Cardiff every year?
As for leaks, you will never get a leak free system. Unless you plough billions into infrastructure. Which would be a waste of money.
I still maintain it's a streamlined system as the population of Britain are usually shareholders through the various pension schemes.

Can I remind our readers that Welsh Water is a not-for-profit organisation and has no shareholders.

In 2021 about 14% of the UK population was from an ethnic minority background, ranging from 3% in Northern Ireland to 15.7% in England

Can I also remind readers that, perhaps because they don't pay shareholder dividends, over the past two years, the top three executives of Welsh Water received "bonuses" totalling £930,000, bringing their earnings for that period to over £2.5 million. Ok, I nicked that from WOL via Google but that is what the company records show apparently.

The luxurious Copthorne Hotel is closed to paying customers, has been for months and i'm told it will be closed to paying tourists for the foreseeable future. It's housing immigrants at huge cost to the tax payer.

Which will be very apt as it will be the 1000th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings when LOADS of boats came across the channel.
