It's taken time to see the legacy of Thatcher's free market policy but we're really seeing it now with utilities, housing and infrastructure 😢. I think I've remembered correctly that on Dirty Business they said we are the only country in the world to have our water supply totally privately owned.
When it gets taken back into public ownership the private owners will rub their hands together with glee having withdrawn massive profits and bonuses over the last 30 + years, let the infrastructure go to pot and now have the taxpayer come back in after this long period of neglect and pay for the failing systems to be rebuilt. If you think those companies will suffer at the hands of government then you have more faith than I. Thatcherism has a lot to answer for ☹️
what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.
