Well how have other countries done things so well with nationalised systems?.
Idk. How have they? I assume something along the lines of the points made by cookiemonster. Either way I'm not sure how it makes the case against successful examples of privatisation in the UK, or why tax money should be used in respect of goods or services that can perfectly well be picked up by the private sector.
The commercial transport/freight is not a great example for the UK.
Why because it was a shit-heap of relentless theft, corruption, laziness and inefficiency before it was privatized, and so doesn't fit the neat narrative that everything publicly owned is great? As much as I love slagging off Yodl my stories aren't a patch on anyone I've met who had to move goods across the country back in the day.

I'd be surprised if you can quote one successful privatisation that is without it critics

Isn't it down to you to tell me why the UK system is better. It is not a free market tho is it, it is an oligopoly at best. Also the gov give alot of tax payer money to the rail companies and the infrastructure, yet companies make profits so is that a free market? Why did the Gov nationalise rail track?
Are you old enough to remember the trains pre privatisation? Do you remember red star parcels? The issue is that happens with road transport is not paying for use of the provided services that tax revenue pays for like roads, hospitals education etc.
