Apparently the buck always tops with Labour, whatever the subject, for one poster Maggie !
I don't only blame this govt, but the privatised rail companies (inc. the bankrupt Railtrack), the privatised Energy Utilities and now Carillion, have all served the the public badly.
Public services in the private sector occasionally make sense, but they are after one thing only, profit for their shareholders. Providing a public service will be low down the list. When they miscalculate and get too greedy for contracts, they go bust hoping we'll bail them out.
Looks like the Govt. are going to have to re-nationalise some areas to keep services going. It will stick in their throats and cost us dear no doubt.
