4:09 am
finance 1st began 30 years ago. at the time, it was simply a question of commending the virtues of privatization. it was margaret thatcher, prime minister, at the time warden who championed the cause. many privatized water in a better deal than nationalized water. i believe we'll go very successfully. indeed. what happened was the entire system, the inter physical system as well as the concession was sold to the private come to this every ciocca water in the plates is private commodity. one of
4:10 am

4:11 am
you gotta do cooking. we didn't even have to care for this during the war time. ah, i said to myself, it's disgusting. but from the milk perspective, but doesn't bursa the market can care less if people die of cholera, really that's not their job, the job is making money and leave them not very well. ah fine. 10 years later, a law is pause. that prohibits companies from cutting off the water supply to those who haven't paid them it, but this is not enough to deter the finance years. on the contrary, in the early 2, thousands, a new generation of traders and the world war 2, namely, private equity. for vulture, funds,
4:12 am
they are hungry and completely unaccountable. they may be fung which have a 10 year life and aid, therefore they need to get their returns for that decade that they will be the earnest and then they need to find a new i say you have a lot of international investors, people who may never have been to a water plant in yorkshire, toll or maybe never been to use their father's is wonderful business. unruly said links, you don't need to know anything about water and you don't need care anything about water. the new owners arrived from canada, hong kong. i'm a lazy in london, thames water, the distribution authority that covers 20 percent of the country is bought by the

4:14 am
a study which he detailed 30 years of abusive practices. rising bills, soaring dividends to shareholders, and tax evasion. a caricature, a financial capitalist ah, we ended up to clothing that a belt $2.00 billions pounds per head was being taken out of the system by private capital. now the main reason for that was that the dividends, though, paying when sales were very high, very regular. so these companies were perfect cash machines. they still, they still, i everybody
4:15 am
leaves correctly, that we are being swing by the water. ah, walk, david whole study then it was, it said, is this really how you think that essential services should be looted? i think is the best way by financial interests. so aggressive the really based clarity on that in terms water just over 2 years when it's sold, it's fun share in the company. march 2017 mcquerry says it had just over $13000000000.00 of debt. somebody at that point will have to repay all those borrowing. well, if any one source of money in the whole water industry, and that is the customer and when the customer has to repay the borrowing that will
4:16 am
affect the charges they have to pay. and of course, the owners will never return the dividends they've taken out. those have to go i think they take a view that this is effectiveness crime. ah, funny thing about you, case experience with privatization is no one else in the developed world has done it. it's a one off and sometimes you have to ask yourself, why is it today over 80 percent of brittany's would like to go back to a time when wharton was a common public and essentially free resource. but this concept is slipping away.
