Does it, please feel free to enlighten me as to which shares are morally exepteble to hold and which are not.

Like people, some companies act more ethically than others.

Have you not found this to be the case?

Yeah, all those years at public school playing croquet didn't stand me in good stead for 'real' hard men like you, Shep

I've had an idea. Doesn't happen very often.

How about an all expenses paid trip to the Sunderland coast for the shareholders including a swim in the area where the company they have shares in is responsible for the water quality? What could possibly go wrong.

Drinks at the table is bottled water taken from the rivers they discharge into???

United Utilities Water company illegally extracted £65million of water from an aquifer.

They have been fined just £800,000 for effectively stealing £65m of water which we own.

How did they value the water? at domestic rateable value charging rte, at domestic billing rate, at industrial rate, or, at leakage rate?

Seems like a good deal!

great business model - no wonder they don't want to be re nationalised!
