    i'm going off the statement on ASLEF website
    "ASLEF members at eight companies – Arriva Rail London; Chiltern Railways; Greater Anglia; Great Western; Hull Trains; LNER; Southeastern; and West Midlands Trains – will strike on Saturday 30 July."
    The only mention of Northern Rail is further down when it says "Further ballots close at Avanti West Coast and CrossCountry on Wednesday 27 July; and at Northern Trains; TransPennine Express; and Transport for Wales on Thursday 25 August."

    Absolutely right. I believe that all public services that affect everyone and provide the basic needs of life should be run by the state. Gas, electricity, water, transport, health, education and other, often overlooked, areas like the met office and air traffic control come into that category. Everything else, things that people don't actually need but might like to have, can be privately run. The argument that nationalised industries are inefficient and the workers in them scroungers is simply put forward by those who wish to line their own pockets at the expense of all of us.

    I agree with this. Why should Singapore Investment Company own 26% of Yorkshire Water.

    Spot on.

    The list of failing/failed privatisations that have either had to be brought back in house (eg Bradford LEA/Serco) bailed out by the state (eg Olympics security) or are ongoing but providing appalling services (residential care homes, home care services, prison transport, railways, hospital cleaning) is enormous.

    Providing public services (where the service quality is what matters) and private sector companies (where making profit is the primary object and the goods or services provided are simply a means to that end) are two entirely different and mutually incompatible things.

    No a daunting job isn’t pressing a brake and accelerator for 60 grand a year. To me a daunting job is the brave men and women fighting over the years sacrificing their lives in wars so we can have a debate like this now.
