If you can't beat them then join them eh?
No, not join them, just disobey their demands.
Lying is their job: Severn Trent getting fined £47,000,000 for telling fibs to the regulator is a good one to highlight.
Thieving: Also something they regularly do, which I don't do at all: Conspiring with the DWP to steal money off the poor is something they still get away with. If not paying water charges was 'thieving' it would be punishable in a criminal court. It's not. It's a matter for the civil courts - nobody is ever a thief for failing to pay a disputed debt, and so it would be inaccurate to equate thievery with failure to pay disputed water charges.
Scumbags is them again. I have no power or willingness to be nasty to the vulnerable, the poor and the uninformed, whereas they have plenty and frequently abuse it.0 -
