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

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.
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.
