The Tory governments sold off all the family silver gas,electricity,telephones and offered the british public cheap shares in these utility companies and the promise of an instant killing on them.Most of the general public sold them back to the city so the result of this twenty plus years later is sky high bills and oldpeople ringing there hands and complaining(probably the same bloody people who bought the original shares) that they cannot afford to heat their house during the cold snaps.
Wasnt it also the fact that the newly privatised companies then decided to import cheap coal from abroad to fuel their power stations and probably escalated the closure of our own coalmines because they could not compete on price.
I blame one person for that and our town and many others up here suffer to this day from these dreadful policies.Government decisions are far reaching across the decades and we are now paying for those decisions in the past.To be honest though the last twelve years have seen little improvement in the UK in fact i think things are a lot worse and i am left wondering what difference there was between Thatcher and Blair.Very very little!
BTW
I WILL NOT be not voting for the imported Labour Luvvie it is a disgrace! I urge all Wiganers to vote against this nonsense.I want a Wiganer representing me not somebody from down south and my cross will be next to the person who comes from the town not some career politician seeking the safe haven of an easy seat.
