anyways, it's not a pertition innit

it's a call for civil disobedience

"The water companies rely on us paying our bills to make money.Thames Water alone takes in £2 billion every year. This is our only leverage – if we can coordinate to use it.

So we’ve come up with a new tactic: short-term withholding of payment. This is a form of financial disobedience to build confidence and power from below – and it’s how we can make ourselves heard on the issues that matter most. To do so, we need hundreds of thousands of people to participate whilst ensuring we keep each other safe.

Now is the time to act. The water industry is vulnerable. Thames Water, the largest water company, is on the verge of collapse after being loaded with over £15 billion of debt it can’t repay. With the rest of the industry also crumbling under a mountain of debt, we have a once in a lifetime opportunity for public ownership by and for the people.

If we don't do this now, the failing water companies will likely be re-sold and the cycle will repeat."
