"Life is not like that and lacking the profit motive and competition, prices would be a lot higher. Experience of state monopolies bears this out."
Just like the railways...
We have the only privatised 'national' railway in europe. FACT
We heavily susidise that 'private' enterprise to the same extent as when it was run by the state FACT
Our railways are the most expensive in Europe FACT
Train fares in the country increase at a rate higher than inflation FACT
Train operators still report profit FACT
Market forces are really great for the consumer aren't they?
What is even more hilarious is when the likes of IDS is telling people that they can find work in the next town (Shock horror, what a clever man). With pay freezes the wonderful private sector actually reduces the money you take home. If we scrap the minimum wage, we could even get to the point where we have to start paying employers to give us a job.
