I take that point, which is a fair one but there was a major campaign across Europe about the right to water. If there was a line one could not cross that prevented water being used to generate revenue because people must have it, governments would have to find the money elsewhere, through corporate tax, financial transaction tax or tax on high incomes. Perhaps SJI does not wish to state its position on this but does it think access to water is a human right that should be free of charge?
