    They’ve basically just shoehorned Brexit into an article about governmental incompetence.

    As if being in the EU saved us from our useless politicians.

      The water system is a business. The labs are businesses. A competent business shuttering when the market shrinks to avoid making a loss is an effect of Brexit.

      The fact our water infrastructure is run as a business is an effect of Thatcher selling it.

      We need to vote for a government to reverse Brexit eventually. But we’re also still waiting 35 years to reverse the privatisation of the 80s.

      The problem with voting for destructive Conservative governments is it costs a lot of money to replace the things they’ve given away or destroyed.
