@Mike-lb1hx what's your point.so you are basically saying that nationalisation gave the same results as privatisation.the difference is (even if that was true)is that the privatised companies started with nil debts ,borrowed billions ,gave shareholders billions(the vast majority heading out of the uk)and we still ended up with little or no investment and we are now going to be asked to pay massive bills to do the job that they should have done in the first place.lf you are so happy with this you can pay my bills as well as your own.

In days of old the stage coaches were held up by highway men who robbed the occupants.at least in them days it was obvious who were the people that were doing the robbing and if caught they were imprisoned.today they do the same and become immensely rich and or get knighted.

@laurencesmith1435 so you are happy with being ripped of by private companies that are monopolies and where as a customer you have no choice but to use their overpriced and totally rubbish services just because it conforms to your capitalistic idealogy. Even the victorian goverments provided essential infrastructure that the capitalist system would not have provided because they did not have the resources or it would have not be profitable . L

@ColinWatters when you have a pension pot you are asked to decide what level of risk you are willing to take .the higher the risk the greater the reward.the sensible attitude is a mixture of risk.those pension funds who do not adopt this attitude should assume the blame for bad investment choices and not expect to be bailed out when things go pear-shaped.

Thatcher is not one of those worrying about keeping warm given where she is probably resident having a hell of a time.
