We all know why it is a bad idea to privatise public services. The purpose of the public service is to serve the public and the purpose of a private company to make a profit for their shareholders. It must not genius to see that the two interests are against. Why is done so? Because politicians in the pockets of private interest? Yes, you could basically it thereby provided. But how you sell it to us is the interesting part here, I want to focus.
Part privatisation (it was never called) of the British Royal Mail disappeared in July 2009 temporarily from the headlines. For weeks we were told, as we need the cash and the expertise of the private sector because Royal Mail was not good and needed to reform and bring in the 21st century. A non-British company was the preferred bidder.
So, what's the problem with Royal Mail?
Before we try to answer this, let us see the fun race broadcast the popular BBC motoring programme top gear in the same month. Two of the presenters paid £ 0.39 for a first class stamp and published by an island in very southwest of United to a village on another island in the North-East the most corner of the country. Royal mail tell you a first class write very next-day anywhere in the United Kingdom provide.
So jumped the BBC presenters in a Porsche and drove all day and all night to beat in an attempt to the letter. Meanwhile, the letter made its way through the 24 hour postal vans, trucks and several aircraft. When the BBC presenters finally arrived to the letter's goal, was the letter already there waiting for you. The Porsche sports car and the two determined men had beaten the mail system.
So, what's wrong with Royal Mail? The answer seems to be: nothing! Apart perhaps from the fact that it is post too cheap things and that their mail system is the British trash (because that is what is said, are). But if I 10 years ago, mail was more expensive links Germany and usually 3 days for a letter it took to get and I suppose, is still the case. Yes! The mega-efficient Germans!
joking £ 0.39 for such a service, you? So, what is it, the needs in the 21st century? How much more efficiently can you get?
But the way to privatization is always the same. Starve the finance service, make it appear as taxpayers are no good service and then claim that the privatization is the only way forward. What needs, Royal Mail be taxpayer owned, keep a monopoly, free of charge fair prices (by this I more mean).
If we stopped issue billions to buy banks debts on nuclear deterrence is on wars against civilians abroad for in favour of the private oil interests and all the spying on law-abiding citizens, we would have much for all types of public services, which is what really is the money for.
I believe privatization is simple redirect taxes into private pockets. I'm not communism, but public services, money to earn not there should be for private shareholders.
