  1. The theory is great and makes good sense, however look at the state of the NHS and then imagine every other essential service experiencing the same problems.

  2. Alternatively you let the business fail and deal with the consequences. As all working people now pay into a Pension its more than likely that your Pension Fund is a shareholder in many of these companies.

  3. Banks and their chums will be first in line to be repaid by the administrators. Banks always protect their lending.

  4. Who needs water anyway ?

  5. Agreed, no one in the Thames area needs water anyway ?

  6. You obviously have zero understanding of business.

  7. The alternative is to let the business fail and then deal with the fall out. When its something as essential as water failure isn't an option.

  8. The alternative is to let the business fail, it's only water and who needs that ?

  9. Let it fail, who needs water anyway ?

  10. I agree Thames Water should be allowed to fail, who needs water anyway ? You really didn't think about the consequences did you ?

  11. Buy the company assume the debt, that's how it works.

  12. How is the publicly funded NHS performing ?

  13. Do you think it comes out of your taps by magic ?

  14. When the taxpayer bailed out LLoyds Bank and RBS, it became part owner in the business.

  15. Business go bust all the time, it's nothing new.

  16. Not all businesses are successful. The NHS is hardly a success story for public ownership ?

  17. Why would anyone want to be a shareholder in a business that didn't offer attractive dividends ?

  18. The alternative is to let it fail as would be the case with a normal business, who needs water anyway ?

  19. A recipe for waste and inefficiency.

  20. Nothing new and it happened under Labour too.

  21. If you want to attract and retain shareholders and investors the returns have to be attractive.

  22. Who needs water anyway ? You do realise that if its nationalised the taxpayer will assume the debt !

  23. A recipe for waste and inefficiency. Look at the state the NHS, just imagine every public service being in the same mess ?

  24. Just image all essential services were in public ownership and then look at NHS as an example of something in public hands !

  25. Shareholders who don't receive dividends tend not to remain shareholders and without investors the company has no future.

  26. If that were possible why would anyone want to be a shareholder ? Without shareholders there is no business.

  27. One and the same. This isn't done for nothing, they will become part owners of the business just as happened with Lloyds Bank and RBS.
