The post you are reporting:
I to have to go along with REG just look at british gas, 18%rise in prices, a continued upward trend in prices, privatisation gone mad.
water companies being much the same
Running a club myself as a volunteer and being involved in other clubs, i'm aware voluntereers are already overstretched, and whilst the big society is a good idea, in reality we need to look at how best it could work.
At the moment its just replace everything with volunteers, expecting them to take up the shortfall, when they are already overstretched..
I have quoted on other threads where instead of being an obstacle they could do more to help.
but reg is correct on this one, whilst a few posters will support the private sector, reg quotes many reasons why privatisation is not the answer, and at the end of the day, becomes costly to you and me
