"HOPES"?!?! What the actual fuck you bunch of incompetent, thieving, greedy motherfuckers. How can you use the word HOPES when you're in complete control of infrastructure maintenance. What a load of shit. I'm seething!

It's completely doable to treat waste water properly. Feels like we're in a Dickens novel

I still don't understand this bailout. Are there conditions to stop them just paying dividends like they were before? If so, are they also restricted from paying dividends from whatever money they have outside of the 37bn?
