If it's a Lib/Dem pact it will be goodnight Vienna. They are both minded for a full privatisation, still who knows with the political clout available

It's a pity someone else wasn't running Gordies campaign, all the snake oil must have been used up

ALL of them want to privatise us - the only bit of sanity in the new parliment ( from our POV ) is Caroline Lucas gaining Brighton Pavillion for the Greens ( their avowed policy is to return us to a FULL Public Service & to maintain us as such ).

One slight glimmer is the Libs want a partial privatisation, ( with the remainder about 49% IIRC - going into an employee partnership scheme like John Lewis & Waitrose ) Labour & Tories want to sell us off, lock, stock & barrel, and in the short to medium term, it might not get off the ground.....but come the next government with an absolute majority, and all bets are off

BTW you seem to be forgetting that the good old boys in blue will be having a public sector pay freeze for all workers earning over £18k a year. People like you and me, hard working people who have gone without a pay rise for 2 years. So, to all you lot who voted Lib Dem, you might as well have voted Tory. Good work suckers!!
