Taxi Driver Online

I agree with Terry, everything public that's been privatised either ends up as an unmitigated disaster,or cost the taxpayer twice what it used to under public ownership.

Utilities, hospitals, prisons (group 4), trains . . .

In London they've had two private companies go tits up after taking over the fire brigades fleet, they're now on the third mob, all costing millions.

Shove privatisation up your arse Cameron, it doesn't work.

Thing is, silly abuse aside, he makes some sensible comments.

Certainly better reading than the one liner crew, most of whom are on my ignore list ( great addition to the forum )

I like the way all the "industry and services" trotted out as cases for nationalisation are the ones started with private money and wrecked by the unions once the got their manipulative power mad claws into them

British Leyland
Railways
Steel
Shipyards
Collieries

Without the original private investors they couldnt have existed

the unions fooked us up once, god forbid they get a second chance to do the same

what an astute chap you are and too the rest of you morons hes organised LTDA probably and earns proper dough his mob will perform not GROVELL

Greedy bosses and thatcher fecked what was left of industry.Take a look at Germany well unionised and a leading economy they make/manufacture their own goods and buy them.

The trains should be better, they're twice the price of anywhere else in Europe.

But are they better? I suspect a few million commuters would disagree.

No company should be making a profit when the tax payer is propping them up.

There is an easy solution - End all subsidies.

The public can then take it on when the fat cats have gone bust.

I wasn't aware that these nationalised industries were designed to make a profit.......and it they did, the shareholders (which is the general public) would be the beneficiaries.

I'm talking about privatised industries such as the railways.

What are you on about

PMSL. passenger fares would rise, freight would avoid it even more and lines would be shut, but at least the steam enthusiasts would have new lines to rescue


a bunch of taxi drivers, mainly with 1 car, know how to run a rail network, fecking priceless....
