IMO privatisation and persistent weak regulation has only led to degraded services at inflated prices.
The current SCAM regarding energy prices is a disgrace.
Essential services and utilities which are mostly monopolistic, like where can I get water if I don't want Anglia Water, should never be allowed to fall into the hands of private enterprise who are only interested in squeezing out the maximum amount of profit with little or no deference to the paying customer whatsoever.
That damn woman sold us all down the river and then we voted in another load of Tories, who masqueraded as Socialists, that carried on where she left off.
The whole privatisation fiasco which included almost complete deregulation of financial services has directly led us into the current mess we find ourselves in.
Private Industry and self regulation/weak regulation is a obvious recipe for disaster as recent events have demonstrated but we find ourselves STILL being led down, essentially, the same road.
Private Industry has HM Gov. in it's ass pocket. Until we find a strong leader with a will to do anything about it we are doomed to more of the same old, same old.
