Interesting to note: Brits still have a severe sewage problem (Wikipedia: Sewage discharge in the United Kingdom). Even to this day they're often releasing untreated sewage into nature.

It's more a "let's privatise public services so shareholders can make money at everyone's expense" problem.

Perhaps some CEOs and MPs need some effluent in their proximity to understand what's at stake.

A conservative enemy of Julius Caesar, who was his co-consul for the year, once had a chamber pot dumped over him for opposing popular legislation. After that, he didn't leave his house for the rest of his term of office.

Now, I'm not SAYING we should start buying chamber pots...
