not all of them fail and if they do its due to not putting the correct "management" in charge of them. some of them are there to "serve the public" and are as such non profit for which the public pay for out the coffers.

think of it this way for every company that is nationalised and makes profit is less the public has to pay for and as such receives lower living costs and better public services as they are cheeper. if not cheeper then even more of the profits go back into the coffers for public services or pays to "support/top up" the less profitable ones. privatisation the coffers go into "fat cats" pockets or with whats happening at the moment "foreign investors or Gov's" pockets.

privatisation was to be better and cheeper for the public... that was what Thatcher said but she also put 10p on a ltr of fuel and promised to remove road tax... yes i'm old and can remember.
