A case in point is the railway system here. Much better under British Rail. Hopeless and expensive now that its privatised. British Airways is the opposite. Better privatised, but is the exception.
Private isn't better than state run.
America has been a socialist state ever since it funded the Tennessee Valley Water Authority. This is still running, and funded by the government, as the area found that no private comapny could provide water to the community at reasonable costs - ie, a profit, that could be afforded on both sides. The TVWA has run since 1933, but most Americans are oblivious to the truly socialist status of their country.
