The UK government is reported to be drawing up plans to nationalise parts of the failing water industry; & to take liability for the debts created by previous directors & shareholders.

Let's just pause & think about this for a moment.

Hokitika Gorge and its blue water just surrealistic! Even more impressive under a white/grey cloudy sky.
