Final decision on disputed price controls for 5 water companies An independent group of experts appointed by the CMA has decided how much revenue 5 water companies are allowed following their rejection of Ofwatโ€™s decision.

Competition regulator allows additional 2% -4% increase in England water bills on appeal.

Regulators side with industry.

Companies to collect more money from captive customers, dump sewage in rivers, pay dividends, exorbitant exec pay.

Rip-off continues. Who protects people?

Not to become Foucault about all this, but it's a question of power.

Wealth brings increased power. Ultra wealth, unlimited power.

Politicians derive their power/authority by consent, and it's temporary.

The โ€˜Swiss Swindleโ€™ โ€” Does Starbucks short-change coffee-producing countries? โ€” Centre for International Corporate Tax Accountability and Research While claiming 99% of its coffee beans are โ€˜ethicallyโ€™ sourced, Starbucksโ€™ shifts profits to Switzerland, leaving scant revenue for coffee-producing countries and perpetuating poverty in farming commu...

Starbucks claims of ethical conduct and supporting farmers are a sham.

It books profits from the purchase and sale of green coffee beans in Switzerland, dodges taxes.

Shifts profits. 18% mark-up on all global coffee purchases before re-selling to other Starbucks subsidiaries.

Puppy farms, sulky racing, fox hunting and hare coursing: Ireland has a major animal cruelty crisis While the public demands change, Irelandโ€™s weak laws, poor enforcement and Government inaction are allowing puppy farms, blood sports and racing abuses to flourish, writes Jennifer Whitmore.

It is, it would seem, just another case of humans feeling superior. If any animals pose a problem the idea is always to kill them. Humans are the biggest problem but culling humans is unacceptable. It is senseless to me.

That is still wrong. โ€˜Regulated cullsโ€™ still translate as murdering wildlife! There is nothing morally right about it and, if Canada wish to do this to wildlife, we shouldnโ€™t give them the benefit of financially rewarding them for doing so.
