The lenders who allowed the utility company to take on so much debt and supported its financial irresponsibility should pay, not the state
The Times argues against permanent public ownership because "private water companies provide an efficient service in the United States"
*Actually 9/10 people in the US receive their water service from a PUBLICLY OWNED utility*

Universities in England at risk of long-term decline, says British Academy
Outgoing president Dame Julia Black calls on ministers to overhaul their ‘confused’ approach to higher education
"Is it easier for ministers to just watch universities go to the wall on a slow burn basis? Probably."
Thank you to British Academy president Dame Julia Black for calling out the crisis in higher education.
