Labour warns of 'back door' privatisation

“Newquay loyal - privatisation does work - so says all independent analysis- no serious political party intends to reverse privatisation - the problems associated with privatisation are not due to the commercialisation process per se. The problems are explained by alternative reasons ie lack of competition/ regulation , under valuation of an assert, poor structural formation....rising world market pressure. But the fact of privatisation is an innocent bystander.....a now defunct principle of communist far left dinosaur politics clinging to clause 4...”

Did labour gain an majority share of the vote in the thirteen years ?no I thought not !this year your getting £50 rebate on your water bill,what did you get off your beloved Labour Party in the 13 years in power ? Answer nowt,zilch,diddly squat.

I think you will find the major deregulation of the banks took place on blairs watch and it was that other idiotic " jock" brown who deregulated them.and being pedantic it it would be hard for them to locate Barnstable as the uk one only has one b,the one you mentioned is in Massachusetts !!!

Words fail me! attitudes like yours are the reason labour virtually bankrupted the uk.you certainly ain't got a degree in economics.

For my own views anything that stops the restrictive practises of fire brigade unions is ok by me.”

“As for the Tories winning the most seats that is true but they were voted for by a minority of the electorate. Most of those who voted did not vote Tory but are getting hit just the same with the preoccupation with privatisation. In a fair system would the area with the lowest wages pay the highest water rates? That is privatisation for you where profit matters more than the customers.”

“Newquay_loyal - Prices usually do go up, it's called inflation, what was your house worth 30 years ago. The left just don't seem to be able to get basic economics.”

“Labour have ZERO credability when it comes to Fire and Rescue Services. The Regional Fire Control Centre (FiRe) fiascal was a disgrace and we're still paying for it.”

“To Mr T/O. The current profit driven Gov't serve a very few Elite brotherhood, most of whom were members of the Bully Boy club. Whereas Unions, who are a collective of a vast number of people, known as 'Workers', serve the public at large and aim to protect services from those who wish to either/or, cash in on them / destroy them.

Let's take a look at everything that the Tories have privatised over the years - Rail, Water, Electricity, Gas etc etc... in every case, prices have gone up, to ensure a small minority make a huge profit - Customer service has fallen through the floor due staff levels being to being slashed to the bone and good staff driven out, wages driven down to the national minimum and workers rights ignored.

If privatisation is so good, why is it, that only those who make money out of it, supporting the continued practice ? Perhaps if we got rid of the right wing extremist Thatcherite 'Greed is good' policies and looked after our population as a whole, this Country might not be in such as sorry state. And before you give me 'it was all Labours fault' claptrap, even Brown & Blair were unable to screw up as badly as the Bankers of the USA & US. Maggie deregulated the Banks and made sure that her pals lined their pockets at the expense of UK PLC.

Can you imagine the 999 call. "Help, my house is on fire", - OK please sir, which Country are you calling from please ? "Help, come quick, it's 18 Normal Road, Barnstable" - Please Sir, are you having Insurance for fires please ? "What ?, please send a fire engine now" - I'm so sorry Sir, do you have the insurances ? Sir ? Sir ? Oh dear, he seems to have got cut off, I hope that his house, barn and stable are all ok.”

“Comrade Nick, the Tories are the will of the people, we had a democratic election and the Tories won the most seats, the prolateriat spoke and the Tory-Lib Dem pact have carried the day. A bit like the Lib-Lab pact of the 70's. Funny how you put 'care' in big letters but 'CAREER' in small letters, remember these are PROFESSIONAL people comrade Nick.”

Being a Tory supporter I wouldn't expect you to understand that those who choose a career which involves looking after their fellow human beings Polce,Fire,Ambulance,and all other caring professions,do so because THEY CARE.”
