This is an excellent article

Its is he could write free articles on here, he would have a captive audience, in a good way as opposed to those Plasma TVs (made in 1984?)

Aye,a good analysis,it makes me bloody angry,about the splits on the left,not just in Scotland ,Sheridans vanity project,Scargills own personal party,the ego's within the left,have hamstrung any attempt at a real left wing party having any influence on politics.

What would we be like if we didn't privatise Gas, Oil, Electric, British Steel, Railways and BT ? Probably a more healthy economy and stronger pound and more jobs and income staying in UK.

Have the customers benefits from it.

This is an excellent article

He's right about Telecom , I do know some of their old staff , they do remember the drip , drip effect of negative press , that bl**dy woman didn't knight those press barons for nothing !
There was a private is good and public is bad mantra , going back to those TV ads and share sales - somebody said " Sid would now be strung up from a lampost "

I've been there with a now privatized industry , it could be very bitchy and nasty , all the hate stirred up and people outside the industry thinking they should be in charge making trouble for staff. Managers were openly vindictive and hostile , the split ups were to neutralize the main big union , the brainwashing & union bashing was relentless , bullying was rife with macho management to soften people up and " character build " .

Herein lies the question for me, considering the expriences of Telecom workers, should I consider puting in for EVR or stay on til a better deal comes up ?

One work Colleage has been in 14 years is 61, he has been offered £28.000 when he asked for a figure for EVR.

trouble is there isn't that many Jobs out there now.
