It’s strange, the same story keeps on repeating. I am no fan of Richard Branson but when Virgin ran a lot of the main rail routes they were actually run very well, and you could buy very reasonably priced advance tickets.

You would be surprised. We have 2 solar farms within easy driving distance, 1 of which I saw for the first time yesterday, and it is alongside a road that I drive down not infrequently. It also appears that a lot of the our wind turbine blades incorporate Asbestos.

That sounds awfully similar to what we see here, especially with defence. There has been a much delayed spending plan which promoted the defence minister to resign a few weeks ago, and the “leaked” details don’t really inspire confidence. There is a lot of talk of renationalising various industries - it is happening with rail - but that “privatisation” was in name only as the government still controlled fares, track etc. The biggest hurdle we probably have is the suicidal energy policy which destroys usable land for inefficient generation. Then when the solar farms reach end of life, they immediately become brownfield sites prime for development, as long as the ground is not too poisonous.

Just a small note, a decrease in the rate of increase in government spending is not “crushing austerity”. The only question to be answered is where the money actually goes.
