Im older than you think and you cant teach me anything, I remember the days in the 60s and 70s when people had jobs. Good jobs at that and the standard of living was better. I think you will find the tories have gone too far this time like I said they have no control of soaring prices Because it all comes from abroad. We own nothing, Get it?.
Just answer me one question. Why are quite a few of us on here wanting to leave this country and go to a third world country?

I suggest taking a look outside your box..or rather, Wolverhampton

Yes, I remember..Thanks to your Unions, getting grossly over paid in a nationalised industry (subsidised by the British Taxpayer ) for producing stuff nobody wanted.....Yeah, the general public are screaming for those day to come back

Here's what happened to BT...similar to The Royal Mail setup

gcse economics - tools of the trade: privatisation - case studies

Case study of the telephone industry
Scenario A
Initially British Telecom was owned and controlled by the government it was the only supplier of telephone lines in the country. It had a monopoly.
Scenario B
The industry was privatised. BT was sold to private individuals and is now owned by shareholders as a public limited company. Also other firms were allowed to provide telephone lines for the public.

ADVANTAGES OF PRIVATISATION	DISADVANTAGES OF PRIVATISATION
It created competition. This should help reduce prices	BT still makes huge profits. These go to ‘fat cat’ directors and shareholders
Firms have aimed to increase quality e.g. extra features on phones	BT still has a monopoly in the market. It is difficult for other firms to get established
The government doesn’t have to pay for BT therefore taxes should be lower	A lot of people lost their jobs after privatisation as BT needed to become more efficient
