Pretty much everything in the UK is owned by India, China, France or Germany. Or the UAE/Middle Eastern countries.

Hrm, 70% of water is owned by foreign investors. 66% of UK listed shares are owned by foreign investors (most utilities are PLC's).
So, yea, not a lie.

And what percentage of UK infrastructure is water?
Still a lie.
