Let Them Drink Mineral Water

Yet another blessing of British independence from the beastly Euro-wogs has materialised in the form of greater liberty for moisture provision profiteers. The scruples of privatised water companies as regards the cleanliness of their output are of course quite flexible and buccaneering already; but their application will be further enhanced by efficiency savings in the laboratories which test new cleaning products. All such laboratories in the UK have now been closed in order to fund tax cuts for the nice people, and liberation from the Strasbrussels yoke has also brought about compulsory freedom from cleaning products that are tested in filthy foreign labs. By contrast, the beastly Euro-wogs have bound themselves into a hideously collectivised and uncompetitive régime in which - even as a means of increasing boardroom bonuses or shareholder dividends - the poisoning of tap water seems to be considered barely acceptable.
