The London region water company has not invested in fixing enormous water leaks, causing shortages and waste, because it was more profitable to neglect its duty and wallow in greed. (What else would you expect from a big business under today's business attitudes?)

I see two valid goals in this situation:
1. Bring water services back into clean, water-saving and satisfactory service.
2. Punish those who have profited by harming the public — take as much as possible of their past gains.

An article that agrees.

I suspect that the laws that govern these companies were designed to facilitate profiteering. The most important thing is to change them to demand responsibility and stop the profiteering.

An inquiry into the undercover UK cops who were sent to infiltrate peaceful protest groups in the 1970s has published its first partial report. It concludes that their investigation was intimate and had no justification whatsoever.

This is plutocracy at work.

A TV station presented a program that accurately showed how dolphins typically mate — a group of males league together to plan gang rape.

It leads humans to pose a question of which standards to judge dolphin behavior by — the standards of human morality, or dolphins' own nonhuman nature.

It looks like Australia's government has proposed a law to facilitate new fossil fuel development.
