Because the privatisation of UK water companies directly led to huge amount of shit being dumped in UK rivers.

buy water company -> dump shit in rivers rather than treat it -> profit

JetSetWilly above said that's completely false...?

JetSetWilly wrote that they privatized England water and it's measurably shit. They didn't privatize Scotland water and they have not enough measurements to say it's shit or not. It doesn't prove either way so the point is moot.

But how does that warm rivers in the US and central Europe?
