Just look at those money pits of the seventies. The state was well rid of them. I cannot seriously believe that people think that nationalised industries were better.

Unless of course they never experienced them.
I lived through the seventies couldn't care less attitudes, months to get a phone line installed and then only with their crappy equipment. British Leyland on constant strike. British Steel costing £3million a day of your money.
