A former water company boss has been handed a £270k bonus despite a parasite outbreak that sickened more than 140 people and caused a public health scandal.

Of course it does. Especially so considering this case. In this case not only did the water company plead guilty but the CEO was forced to resign (rightly so). And THEN given a bonus.

Ok, but that does not counter my point.
Now you’re just trolling: it LITERALLY contradicts your point. I know politicians think they can get away with it, but simply repeating something doesn’t make it true.
