due to the public not being told the truth.
think of it this way.. lets say BT supply 20,000,000 UK households with a phone line and charge £10 a month on "line rental" thats £2,400,000,000 a year on line rental alone. even if the Gov end up making £2,000,000 a year profit then thats still better than nothing. all privatised companies are interested in is profit to keep their "share holders" happy, i'll rephrase that "executives" rich and happy.
the public are not told this when all the privatisation was going on. instead the Gov made a quick buck to keep the wolves from the door.
so what are they going to sell next so they can keep the payments going on the ever increasing national debt....... the public no longer have a grip on their politicians who will now do as they please.
