I apologise for not posting for almost a week, but I am rather busy just now. However, I was amused to read a thought from Sir Terry Leahy, until recently the chief executive of Tesco, who was quoted as telling us that
The state has to do less. It has to get out of the way and expect the private sector to do more, be it investment or new business creation.
What is interesting about this is the revelation of how the people like this who run this country and who tell governments what to do live in an alternative universe, in actual cloud cuckoo land. Since the election of Thatcher, the state has been systematically 'rolled back' to use her own words. The entire rationale for all the privatisation that has taken place since then has been the need for investment and jobs that cannot be provided for by the public sector. Not one of those privatisations has worked, and rather than invest, the newly privatised industries and sectors have, instead, happily siphoned off all the wealth into their own pockets. The recent farce of the Post Office is ample testimony to that.
It was getting the state out of the way that produced the financial crisis with the disaster that is Labour and their 'light touch' approach. The light touch that is required for these criminals is the light touch of a police hand on their elbow guiding them to a deserved prison sentence. It should be remembered that the first great privatisation was council housing. I was ridiculed for years for predicting the inevitable result of this policy. Oh, it was very popular, but was also the predictable disaster it has proved to be. You see, the real reasons for all these measures have nothing to do with the public good, or the benefit of the nation. They are purely motivated by elite greed and for the profit of a very few people. The public are of course invited to invest in the newly privatised sectors, but as soon as they are privatised at ridiculously low share levels, the major corporations step in and offer the mugs a good profit on their small investment and within a short time the same gangsters control the newly privatised industries and the public at large are left paying the bill for the profiteering that was the real motivation for the privatisation in the first place.
No public utility should be privatised full stop. They are state assets and must necessarily be controlled by the public through their representatives. Christ told us that we will know the real nature of people and events by their fruits, and the fruits of privatisation are all sour and rotten. The tragedy is that the Sir Terry Leahy's of the world believe such nonsense and the Westminster criminals believe it too as they live in their own out of touch little world and kid themselves on that they actually know what they are doing. As I keep reminding you, they are congenital liars. For example, they keep parroting the lie that they have created a million new jobs and they are never challenged on it. If they are creating all these jobs, why do the unemployed figures not reflect that? I gave you the example recently that over 200, 000 of these so-called new jobs were created by simply redefining the staff in the further education sector as private sector as opposed to public sector workers, there were no new jobs, it was a bare faced lie. That is what you voted for and continue to vote for. You have been warned. The market doesn't work and is a massive lie. It is not, and can never be free and the evidence is all around you, it is one of the most demonstrable aspects of the modern world.
