Across the board it's the PFI (Private Finance Initiative) admittedly brought in by the Tories in 1992 & heavily criticised by Labour party of the day as back door privatisation. That said, when Labour took over the reins in 1997 instead of cutting it back they readily widened its usage through their tenure leading the Country further into private ownership (supposedly despised by Labour).
And here we stand 2011, even more PFI deals being done by a Coalition Government basically selling off the Country to the highest bidder & their shareholders. The only winners in all this is big business & certainly not the public.
