It makes me chuckle every time I hear people talking about nationalisation, as if it would cure all of society’s ills.
At the same time as amusing me, the very idea of leaving the current government in charge of anything more complicated than a child’s tea party puts a shiver up my spine.
Now various groups are calling for the government to guarantee rail jobs at Jarvis, as if it were the government’s responsibility to bail out every company that goes to the wall.
What annoys me is that it is the same people condemning the bank bailouts who expect a handout when their own line of work hits troubles.
