The Tories wrecked the Railways in Britain and so did Labour.

Whenever a valuable state resource is privatised (whether the government sells land, a utility or mobile phone operator rights), then the corporations created seem to be exceptionally profitable: look at British Gas, BT, vodafone. Obviously we the taxpayer aren't getting good value for money on these deals in the first place, and then the corporations don't pay proper tax either - double whammy.

Is privatisation always the best choice? If you think it is, look at what that's doing to the States.

privatisian of the most important services like healthcare education is grabbing the ppl by the balls and taking any chance for the poor to ever be anything else, its way for monopolys and even the end of services, its happen everywhere where big privatizations happen, that whole commies socialilistic paranoia is ridiculous, ppl who believe that are saying that they want to pay for everything and be even poorer actually be slaves

....I don't have a problem with a person making a buck, when it's honestly done. But the stuff about 'a sense and atmosphere of public service', to be frank I think he's romanticising. And wages wouldn't necessarily go down either. And he talks about 'more investment' aswell, by definition that means one would expect some kind of return, which is bollocks because it's not investment it's just propping it up. It is a bit silly to privatise something like this though.

I understand why he's against privatisation of a system like the sydney ferry service or even any transport service, but you can't be so narrow minded about all privatisation. If a service is being badly managed by a government then privatisation can be a viable option but only if there is a real problem. Governments can't do everything and they rely on the private sector do deal with the issues and services that they can't provide. 'Profit' seem to be a bit of a taboo word nowadays, shame.....

No company should be private and we could live in paradise.

Some interesting campaign advice from a passionate political commentator. Nobody can articulate and build an argument like he can. A true old school journalist. Great clip
