3:09 pm
planet? people mocking london financial capital of europe. here is where the relationship between water and 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 warner, who championed the cause many by the time i wore tie in a better deal than nationalized warner. that i want to privatization, i believe, will go very successfully. indeed. what
3:10 pm
happened was the entire system, the inter physical system as well as the concession was sold to the private counselors. every drop of water in the place is a private commodity. one of the 1st things, some of the kill police did, was to start crossing off. would supply to people who hadn't paid their bills. the number of people who've had their water cut off for failing to pay their bills has almost trebled in a year. one company, for example, disconnected 11000 customers. and as far as the company was concerned,
3:11 pm
like to stay disconnected, if they didn't pay their bills, they didn't get any war. so i was, i always just come by noon if only got moved on. you have to come up with times you think you'll have to make this journey that during the day just come down again. well, probably another 4, but i mean, you go to, you gotta do cookie. we didn't even have to care for this during the war time. i said to myself, it's disgusting but from the bulk of perspective, but doesn't bursa the market can care less if people die of cholera, really that's not their job, that job is making money and we've done that very well.
3:12 pm
fine, 10 years later law is pause that prohibits companies from cutting off the water supply to those who haven't paid them. 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 of water, namely private equity for valve cio fund. they are hungry and completely unaccountable. they may be funds which have a 10 year life and they ain't therefore, they need to get their returns a for that decade that they will be the owners. and then they need to find a new and say you have a lot of international vestos people who may never have been to a water plant in yorkshire, tall or maybe never been to yorkshire. their fathers is wonderful. business,
3:13 pm
unruly said links, you don't need to know anything about water and you don't need care anything about the water. the new owners arrive from canada, hong kong i'm a lazy in london, thames water distribution authority that covers 20 percent of the country is bought by the australian based mcquarrie farmers. i was aware of mccore, i mean they were quite a famous institution in australia, whether it be 9 or something, i think they were called the millionaire factory because so many people who worked at mccory became very rich as a result of the bonuses that they and but corey world 1st private equity companies to say, these are good places to believe. one of the simple reasons for that is if you
3:14 pm
observe there is and is going to be population growth. if this population grows, this can remove water. think drug david hall is the man who reveal this war to scan. in 2017, he published a study which he detailed 30 years of abusive practices. rising bills, soaring dividends to shareholders, and tax evasion. a caricature of financial capitalism. ah, we ended up to closing the a belts $2.00,
3:15 pm
billions pills per year was being taken out of the system by private capital. no main reason for that was that the dividends, though paying themselves, were very high. a very regular to these companies were perfect cash machines. they still are, they still are everybody believes correctly that we are being swindled by the water filters walk david whole study than did was it said, is this really how you think that essential services we should be exploited? i think is the best way by financial interests. so aggressive

the australia based mcquarrie funnels was a shareholder contempt water for just over 10 years. when it sold its fun share in the company, march 2017. mcquarry says it had just over $13000000000.00 of debt. somebody at that point will have to repay all those borrowing well as any one source of money in the whole water industry. and that is the customer. and when the customer has to repay those borrowings that will affect the charges they have to pay. and of course the owners will never return the dividends they've taken out. those have just gone i think they take a few that this is a victimless crime. ah. the funny thing about you case experience will to privatization is no one else in the developed world has done it. it's a one off, and sometimes you have to ask yourself,
3:17 pm
why is it to day of 80 percent of britney's would like to go back to a time when water was a common public and essentially free resource. but this concept is slipping away joins and swelter through another 24 hours of extreme hate. ivan, i had barely dipped below 30 degrees in many parts of the state, with temperatures soaring into the mid to high portions during the day 5 with catastrophic ranges. right, and as it remained extremely hot for the se that i with temperatures 10 to 15
