    In Finland we sold a part of our electricity transfer grid to foreign investors... the results sound roughly the same.

    A colleague of Thatcher once commented that she believed she was making the country which her famously frugal, Victorian minded Father would be proud and approve of, she actually made a nation for her Son.

    make the c.e.o and shareowners pay not customers as we have paid them to keep the system in order since 1989 .

    YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS!! Either you Serve OR you profiteer. NOT both ! Now. The PEOPLE need to define what IS a community service……. Health, Education, Infrastructure?…….. whatever. Keep away profit motivated organisations From Services to the community.

    Blaming a Prime Minister, who was in office a bloody long time ago is hardly to blame. BBC nonsense.

      @@ThePierre58 because she was the root of the problem, you simp. Did anyone privatize before her ? Did anyone privatize as much as she did ? We condemn her because she's the root cause, you fool.

      She did it. She takes the blame. And as always the tories take the money out of the system and labour when they DO get elected have higher priority spending plans than to spend billions buying back what was sold a few years before for millions. Same with forestry, BA, gas , electric, rail, post office, parcel force, Prisons, etc etc.
      never trust a Tory!!
