That’s a hard one Mancie.

I think privatisation has been both good and bad depending on the industry. Think with the likes of Gas and Leccy we have benefited from the added competition they have to face, even though vast profits are made.

The railways is a different tale in my book. Things seem far worse even though I never use rail. Prices are constantly being pushed higher, passengers always seem to be unhappy, timetables are crap (late trains etc) and the amount of accidents they have had with lost lives is criminal. Dunno who is responsible for what in that industry, the railway companies, rail track or the government for letting it go on. By "letting it go on" I mean the apparent profits before safety attitude.
