Ding dong the witch is dead

Can you explain how state owned utilities and rail companies encourages competiton and freedom of choice? Struggling to understand that one to be honest

You might want to read up on The East Coast Line.

Dumped by at least two private operators, as despite the subsidies (care to explain why bosses should be given millions of pounds when they are running subsidised services?) as they failed to make a go of it, loathed by passengers, it's back in public hands being run efficiently and on time - so what's gonna happen now - it's gonna be privatised!

What Thatcher  has proved, what Major has proved, what Blair, Brown and Cameron have proved, is that privatisation of public utilities and services is a failure and the biggest ever rip off of public and tax payers funds.  It's robbing the poor to pay the rich, and when it all falls apart, who steps in, why you've guessed us poor folks that got robbed in the first place!
