If they were still nationalised you'd be paying a lot more IMO, if not in bills then in taxes to support them. I remember how chronically in-efficient and strike ridden the state sector was in the 70's.
Exactly ,it took a basic tax rate of 36% and a top rate of 83% in the mid 70's to keep those industries afloat .I really can't believe that people are suggesting going back to that ,or maybe it is only those that don't work and don't pay tax that are suggesting it
