WATER rates: no competition, no choice, very limited help with bills.

Can you ask the three main political parties in Southampton what their policy is on monopolies with a captive customer base milking people for the benefit of fat-cat directors and cold-eyed slithering shareholders?

Of course, if I win a lottery jackpot, I will stop asking awkward questions and deposit my millions off-shore.

Principles are for poor stupid fools.
