Nationalise them all. They’ve been syphoning off funds for their shareholders for decades. Time to put those profits where they should actually be used, improving the pipes and fixing shit, and any excess going towards other national infrastructure.

Poor things, they must be down to their last few millions by now.
Fine by me
Well yeah you do
Ooooh nooo....
