Dear African people, if you send just £3 a month to 3rd world Britain, this could give a little British village fresh clean drinking water.
Thank you.
In Africa everyone's got a running water tap in their house😊 fact 😅
Hahahaaa
😂😂😂
So true
😂😂
Water should NEVER have been privatised. Its a basic human need, there should be no one making a profit or getting dividends from it.
Criminal act?
@@marionharding6015 it's obviously not a criminal act, but they're saying it should never have been privatised
Yes, I entirely agree! There are the parasites in the water and the parasites out of the water, formally called, shareholders.
Here here
We were told that it (and the rest of our infrastructure) was being "privatised", actually the antithesis of 'national ownership' is *international* ownership, and indeed most of it is now owned and run by foreign or multinational corporations.
This country is literally turning to shit
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I was just going to comment that 😂 not funny though the (the country that is) 💩
@@cantsaythat4904 this country is a shit show I absolute detest it now
And now were drinking it🤣🤣
Yes it is.
UK water companies are an absolute disgrace
Please amend this to england. Scottish water is PURE
@@doreenhollywood7459kwiin of fresh water
Disgusting WATER CO’ sue them 😡😡
It's the Tory's and they're mate's 😅 good luck
@@doreenhollywood7459About the only thing the SNP hasn’t fucked up.
Just £1.20 a day will provide clean drinking water to the residents of Devon, donate £1.20 TODAY it will go straight to the shareholders off shore accounts.
This is Sharon.
She lives in the hottest part of her country.
Water is scarce and sanitation is primitive.
Her family need water, and so each day she walks 8 miles across the potholed roads of Torbay to the waterhole.
She is now losing weight fast and is already below 14 stone.
Just £3 a month means people like Sharon get access to fresh water.
Lmao
'already only 14 stone'. Excellent.
OMG only 14 Stone aged 11 years old. Where can we send the cash?
Quality 😂
Brilliant !!
Well we all know who to blame: water companies who have denied pumping sewage into creeks, rivers, lakes and just keep putting bills up, so that we have to pay for their incompetence!! Make the bosses hand in their bonuses!!!
China...
I'm shocked you didn't mention Blair.
@@dmoiseyo8882 Why would they mention Blair, when we all know that Trump is responsible.
we have ourselves to blame to if we fail to wash our hands and instead use hand sanitizer
Every river in England polluted, Windermere a sewage farm, now this, and we pay these outrages and some of the highest water charges in Europe for this! BACKWARDS.
It's probably the rainiest country in Europe too so there should never be any shortage of clean drinking water.
James you are so right. Its definitely gone backwards. The pollution in rivers and water courses is dreadful.
The rich use the British population as a farm to extract as many profits from as possible with no regard for our welfare what so ever.
@@user-qh8nh7oe6d Here,here.
Yeah, blame Europeans and the beaurocrats in Brussels. All this is their fault.
This is what happens when corporations control your water. Watch nothing happen after they fix it.
We all know this is caused by the profits being diverted to shareholders, we all know. It’s time to change this.
Nobody has the balls to do anything tho. As usual in this Country
@@stuartwarren5781 … we need to become more, French; and it’s sad I even have to say that.
@@peacenow42 you’re demonstrating you know nothing about this event. Washing your hands with tap water in that area would’ve increased your exposure and likelihood of becoming ill.
washing your hands with soap and water reduces the viruses silly. Not increases the chance you get sick. Unless you can prove otherwise and boy would that be surprising.
@@peacenow42 but the source or point of entry has been identified already.
Kinda struggling with your motivation to comment here, are you defending the water company?
Talking about going backwards as a country, we've gone back 200 years before proper water sanitation.
Our water is unfit for human consumption our rivers are unfit to step in yet, they constantly raise their prices not to improve the system but for more profits for their shareholders. These companies need to be nationalised
Do not let your pets drink this water🙈 😡😡
Exactly 🎯
Mine won't drink the tap water anyway.
Me or my dogs havn't drank tap water for 20 years
@@tabularasa7775 some bottled water probably just comes from taps!!
@@Cherrytune386 Probably if the truth be known
Probably not a good idea to swim in the sea off Devon as well for the next few weeks/months with all that Diarrhea being flushed and probably untreated by the Water Company so that they can increase dividends to foreign share holders.
You obviously don't know that SWW has many waste pipes running straight off some of the best beaches in the south west,
And have been using them to dump waste for many years.
Locals know not to go swimming when the tide is coming in.
@@davedevonlad7402 Same with Southern Water - when the sea looks disgusting it's because it is disgusting.
And, my water bill has never been so high. I suppose someone has to keep the parasitical shareholders in the luxury they do not deserve!
This country is absolutely fkd. Never thought I’d see day you couldn’t even drink the water
Never thought folks would use hand sanitizer in place of hand washing...do look up how many viruses that cause vomiting and diarrhea rae NOT killed by hand sanitizer
Everyone needs to STOP paying for water All over UK the water is toxic
Scotland has a national water service
But then there's be nothing coming out of the taps but toxic sludge. I mean - it's okay if you can pop down the shop for a crate of Evian but for those of us that rely on taps it would be hellish.
I did, now due in court next week, i dont have a leg to stand on as nothing can be proved, but I'll still say my piece 🤷♂️
@@gtjust8188well done! We all need to do the same! Can’t imprison us all!!
Lo. Sounds good doesnt it. @@mariaridler1831
The water company giving everyone more runs than a Cricket team.
Not the England team...
😂.
South West water are covering up - it’s probably far far worse. These people couldn’t lie straight in bed.
Exactly. Only 70 people had water supplied from this source? I call bs.
Hundreds sounds more realistic
I hope they all sue the water company
They'll only add it on next year's water bill
I hope people learn to wash their hands and stop relying on hand sanitizer
Our rivers are polluted, our water is now polluted, yet our rates are through the roof. WTF is going on. This country is literally turning to shit.🙏
Did a while back I think
Just continuing our descent into a third world country. Vote Reform.
Reform promote deregulation of industries and business - the lack of regulation is what has led to these water issues
Reform needs to regulate the water companies before cholera outbreaks
Descent? UK is already there.

@@pallasathena1369 It's the latter.
I haven't studied them for years but remember learning that they're particularly dangerous for youngsters, during pregnancy and for the elderly and immunosuppressed.
There was a valve leak into the water supply allowing animal effluent into it and I think it's been in the water for a fortnight now, according to another channel broadcast.
Too many people. It begins with water, next is food, then it's power.
Then it's the end....
Years of Tory government we are in the shit
Indeed, literally too much s**t to deal with. Too may people tends to create these issues.
never mind - when Labour get in, they will save us all !!!!! Just like they have always done ! Tory and Labour - same circus-different clowns !
Your all not informed very well. Its nothing todo with the government its South west water ....like all water nowadays its run by a private company. The same companies that are allowed to dump raw sewage into the rivers and sea. Place the blame in the right place
@@aidiess I agree 💯
@@wulfhere83Being fair, people are only giving Labour another chance because the Tories absolutely suck. Polls show there isn't great enthusiasm for Starmer or his policies. In general it's anti-toryism fueling the Labour revival.
Maybe Water Aid should get involved to provide clean water.
They don't appear to have improved Africa in the last 50 years.
They don't even help Africa they just help themselves and pay themselves huge bonuses.
@@El.Cid17 Too much money to be made running a charity.
I hope the people who get sick sue them for absolutely millions.. they have a DUTY to keep our water safe.!!
Imagine being immunosuppressed from cancer treatment or something and getting this hellish sounding liquid fire out of your arse for days. It could kill someone.
They have been offered 15.00 off their bill
Yet again it's being proved that people's health is of no concern to the powers that be!
This is what happens when you privatise water supply
The whole of Devon shitting at once , better warn Cornwall
Smells like that here anyway
😂😂😂
Another reason never to drink tap water in third-world Britain.
I must admit, my water tastes dreadful sometimes, but l,m in the midlands. This is actually one of my biggests worrys: someone putting something in the water supply.
Most expensive bills in the UK South West water, Tory Britain 3rd world country.
Chap at the end must be a shareholder.
i guess you wanted him to be running round screaming like a gullible sheep
He probably goes round twice or more to get more free water.
I called the water company a while ago and asked for them to supply me with water I wanted. Drinkable. With the heavy metal, fake flouride, microplastics and all pharmaceuticals that are in it, removed. Just simple, clean, drinkable water. They couldn't provide it. They did invite me to enter my postcode onto their website and look at the complete list of 'ingredients' that I would find in my tap water. UNBELIEVABLE! I then suggested, going forward, they discount my bills with the cost of me installing a water filter system and it's servicing costs. Funnily enough they couldn't do this. Having a soak in the bath nowadays just means you're giving all the poisons time to absorb!
I wish everyone would just come together and see where not paying water rates anymore they'd move then! God knows what you're putting in you're body. I mean if you ordered from a restaurant you'd not accept poison in your food would you!
Make water part of council tax! No more profiteering on the most vital resource for human life!
lol that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. They already have 5 different addons to councillor tax now you want to add another they can increase every year. Go drink the water
What a stupid excuse……nobody can believe them.
All planned.
😂
What happens is, they fine the water people, they put their prices up, we end up paying for it
Stop paying your bill.
we can make africa,s water safe lets make are own safe we pay enough for it
All water authorities need investigating now, and why do we have water shortages, why for did they close down many water reservoirs when in fact we needed more, and now we need even more.
How to stop people going on holiday to Devon. Also the lake district seeing as they filled lake Windemere with sewage
Apparently Kinder Scout (a popular Wild Camping location) in the Peak District National Park is literally covered in human excrement at the moment.
I'm going to the Lake District next week 😭
The water companies have allowed this to happen
Amazing, the same people that brought you privatisation and support it, now complaining when privatisation leads to catastrophe. Don't hear you complaining about the massive dividends and salaries taken out by the owners instead of investing in the water systems.
The same people crying on and on about the Torys..... just wait till labour get in
They're two sides of the same coin. Just like Republican and Democrat in America. This system needs to be scrapped before it's too late and we fall into Orwellian dystopia.
can't wait
I'm not even a labour voter, but I shall be monitoring 'stop the tories"
What's the bloomin difference - My Grandmother watched and remembered the Suffragette Movement, so told me to always vote!
I'm so disgusted with the whole lot that I haven't voted since Brexit! (nor will I)
Weve had Tories for way too long something needs to give look at the mess theyve made
It’s called lesser of the 2 evils ???? Can’t decide which one is lesser 🤯🤯🤯
loo roll shortage on the way
they not have much to wipe other then the drippy brown muddy water lmao
If I boil my water I'll get poo in my kettle?
What the hell is going on? Take control of the water firm. No compensation.
People who are sick, should sue the water company.
Wow what an excuse for a country well done Rishi bluff ya way outta this one
Uk is not united anymore
Change the record.
Brexit.
At least we can all sh!t together lol
The water companies are still working to EU regulations 😂@@martynblackburn9632
Remoan off. @@martynblackburn9632
14 years of TORY rule
Thanks!
Ladies and gentlemen, behold the wonder of privatised public services!
Nobody has mentioned this but does anyone else think about dysentary? Have we really fallen that far where a parasite that was eliminated from drinking water for tne best part of 120 or years has made a come back? This isn't just Tory's this is negligence because how did an "air" valve come into contact with animal waste?
Sponsored by nestle , anything to get people to buy bottled water
France has released a report that Nestle is full of shite.
@@El.Cid17 yea it’s just tap water in a bottle , they’ve been screwing people for decades
It was your politics that sold our services to profit private investors. Capitalism consequences. I understand we need capitalism but. It should be combined with tough regulations. As long as it doesn’t affect you. It’s fine
The Tories have been asleep at the wheel - acquiescing to all things woke inc ESG, paying for diversity employees across the civil service etc etc - while we regress to a 3rd World nation. The state of the roads these days makes African trails look technologically advanced & now people can't even drink the frikkin water just like parts of Africa. I give to Water Aid as a direct debit to help poor nations...now that's irony.
Tories are changing for the better, just look at all the latest changes in legislation, it is all in our favour, counteracting what my scabby labour council are doing, trying to steal our houses. Labour would be our worst nightmare.
maybe not asleep at the wheel, maybe they just don't care about you and your family
Yip stop on
Watch them blame it on climate change
Or white people.
There's more to this story than what's being reported.
Been buying bottled water for years! We take enough crap from our politicians,I’m not drinking sewage water as well.
I do the same most of the time but even bottled water has gone up in price,but why should we have to? We pay to have it cleaned! Also what about your shower/bath? It comes into contact with you there too. It's disgusting
So if its a faulty valve in Devon why is this taking place in two other places, one been Dorset?
What do you expect to happen when you dump shit into water ?
Most of the water infrastructure was built a long long time ago. It has not been properly looked after. It has just been neglected. But Don’t tell me Southwest water do not have the funds to provide clean water to its clients.
I really doubt all of Britain's water is contaminated due to one failed valve in one location 😂.
The amount of fluoride added to the water should be a huge red flag these days.
We always distill our water before drinking it
How? Yhanks
@@becky2235We bought a Megahome Water Distiller. It takes all the nasties out of tap water
I haven’t paid a water bill since 1993. It’s been poisoned with fluoride for decades.🤷♂️
I got threatened with baliffs
The joys of water privatisation
profits first
Someone will resign/retire and nobody will be held accountable .
This is what happens when you have an Indian as PM
Swimming in it in the sea and rivers and now drinking it. All tourists are requested to bring toilets roll and a bucket to be sick in.
Me and my children caught this bug after a holiday to paignton, from the sea , we were very sick .
I've got it bad and I'm in Northern Ireland.
Britain 2024.......dark ages more like.......
Classic privatised Water company problem !
i see you drinking Devon water good sir Lmao
This is what happens when utilities are privatised!
From Scrumpy to Squirty in the pubs.
Squatters rights for the people of Brixham!

Provide all the uk with internal water filters in their homes that remove it all including fluoride
In our dreams
We've had a parasite outbreak for the past 14 years, they're called the Tories.
Imagine if we were part of the Eu and had to adhere to EU safety standards LOL
We still do have to, the regulations are still in UK law.
@@alexmckee4683 laws only matter when they're enforced. They're clearly not being enforced. In fact I'm pretty sure the water companies were basically given the green light to dump as much as they wanted.
@@aikiwolfie and this particular outbreak has nothing whatsoever to do with waste dumping anyway. It is a faulty valve causing animal waste to pollute a reservoir.
The EU standards that are relevant here are the ones around regular testing of potable water. That has been going on as usual and is why this outbreak was detected much quicker than the one in 1995.
@@alexmckee4683 if a water company is regularly dumping. Do you think they are genuinely regularly testing?
@@aikiwolfie I can see that your mind is made up already, personally I prefer to look at the evidence and then make up my own mind.
Cryptosporidium monitoring is done continuously by water companies since 1999 following the outbreak in 1995. There are lots of resources online detailing work undertaken by South West Water and their test results. There's no reason to believe they are shirking their duties.
Water treatment is a complex environmental science. There are many variables and many factors. We have surprisingly few outbreaks of water borne illnesses considering our population, its density and the stress on our water resources. New Zealand has suffered several in recent years, presumably this is also because of Brexit?
Germany recorded an unusually high number of confirmed cases of Cryptosporidiosis in 2023, presumably you think this is because they too are failing to enforce regulations?
Or perhaps it is simply because the past few years have had unusually high risk factors, they have had warm summers and drought followed by flooding and a long wet winter. These factors have allowed the Cryptosporidium oocytes to be spread around and infect more places and this has led to raw water stocks becoming infected.
The water is fine here in Scotland ...Oh, I just remembered it has not been privatised up here.
You will if you get independence you will be skint and have to sell everything.
Thanks for the poop water Thatcher.
These water bosses need to be jailed. British people are far too passive. The water industry is a matter of national security and if we can’t have clean affordable water it affects the health of the nation. It needs to be renationalised. Ofwat are clearly not there for our interest!
This + plus raw sewage, good old UK raising standards.....
Huge increase in the sales of Domestos being reported as well as the Toilet Rolls as the toilet bowls of Devon are being pebble dashed on an hourly rate.
lmao
Water company should be supplying toilet rolls & bleach as well as bottled water - the CEO should be going door to door handing it out in the affected areas.
Don't forget the Pampers
Finally there's people to talk to that aren't just full of shit.
People think labour is worse this is what happens when you privatise the waterboards
The lies and deceit that he British put up with is a discrace
Water, Gas, Electricity, Trains, Roads, Royal Mail and the Post Office are vital and should be in public hands and only regulated but not run by the government but by an all party and consumer panel with televised decisions.
I bet theres a vaccine for that.
Putin did it
Putin must be an absolute genius as he’s the mastermind behind everything,
Putin is actually the good guy, I trust him more than any of our crap government.
Why is nothing of any consequence being done about these companies polluting our rivers and seas. Never mind the drinking water. Now that is something to protest peacefully about and bring attention to what is really going on.
I have never drink water , being a plumber you know more and see more when you taking old pipe work out , so much shit sitting inside it , just buy 12 pack of water , it’s healthier in the longer run .
The water hasn't tasted right for the last 25 years😊😊😊
Agreed
Camelford, Aluminium sulphate scandal never ever forget...😢
Is that the time when their hair turned blue after drinking the water?
This is a disgrace . Bring water back into public ownership. Another pissrake .
Put our bills up and tell us to save water! I never drink my tap water boil for tea or coffee. I always buy bottle water. They should give us a rebate!!😮
