The really remarkable thing here is that the Tory party (Britain's centre-right party) were able to actually privatise water. In Britain the drinking water is supplied by private and in most cases for-profit companies, which as you'd expect are both terrible at this and also much more expensive than the previous solution.

I'm sure they're excited by your suggestion though tempered by the fact that we did make it illegal for them to cut off your supply of drinking water if you're in debt. Not electricity, you can freeze or sit in the dark, but we decided that leaving the impoverished thirsty was a step too far and people might realise Capitalism wasn't such a great ideal after all...
