Another momentous private failure, ending of the universal rate and fleecing of the cash-cow public coming to a town near you.I thought you were all about choice after all didn't you want to be able to choose exactly which electrons and water molecules flowed to your house? Not much choice at the moment when it comes to choosing who to post your letters with is there? Royal Mail. Erm Royal Mail and ahhhh Royal Mail.

did you ever read my post TC underinvestment results in
If the private sector can demonstrate delivery of a public spectacle such as the Olympics then I'll eat my FZ1.
Struggling to understand how I can have the freedom of choice to choose which supplier's water molecules and electrons I can have delivered to my house.
Likewise, if I want to take a train from Guildford to London, I don't have a choice of trains from different providers to choose from.
And privatisation of the utilities and railways has resulted in entities in which no real competition can ever operate (I'd like to have different water and electricity delivered to my house, please)

Your very own words.
Technically speaking wasn't LOCOG a private company?
I interpreted what you put. Not my fault if you're not clear in your discussions. Those statements clearly state you want choice and competition but yet are an advocate of single entity state owned utilities and services. No wonder I'm bloody confused!

you didn't say anything about 'pay' you said deliver.
Guess you must be one of Maggie's alleged millions that just gobbled up shares in companies you already owned, bought your council house and couldn't give a toss about the jobless millions or the homeless you step over to get to your privately owned ex local authority family home which now houses you and your ego.Oh yes we should all look on the brightside, 10 million years ago I might have been eaten by a sabre toothed tiger, try saying that to Welsh Miner who lost his home and saw his village and family torn apart as they all had to leave to find a menial job for minimum wage just so you can drink champagne and talk about your financial portfolio.
You clearly read what you want to read, and see what you want to see.

This is fucking priceless When someone comes along and removes the shackles of socialism to sink or float as best I can, admittedly without much help, then I rejoice, but then I guess that's not a very popular point of view.My old man was as blue collar as you can get, yet when I was 9 (in 1980) he bought me a computer because he could see it was a way out for me, it's one of the two or three things I like about him. Guess what, it paid off as that computer put me on a path that provides for me and my family now, many years later.I never said I couldn't give a toss about jobless millions, and I'm aware that some people get a much rougher deal than me, but just because I care I should throw out sound financial policies because of a bleeding heart. New Labour did that and look what a shitty mess they left behind.Personally I think that my life is much better for not being hunted by sabre-tooth tigers but they, that's me.My champagne years with a chocolate box thatched cottage and heated swimming pool are over. Doesn't mean they won't come about again, and I'm working my nuts off to make sure I get back to that position - why the fuck shouldn't I?
