"A message for the NHS perhaps?"
Trouble is the NHS do not have to make a profit to survive, they just go bleating about needing more government money.

Don't see any relevance to the NHS who are under staffed and under funded however the government try to dress it up. Disgraceful comment you should be ashamed. - Captain Haddock

Absolutely. Defamation of the National Religion. Heresy. Stoning's too good for her etc.

Not at all ashamed as that is what happens. The NHS bosses waste a large percentage of the money they are allocated.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course they are comparable both have to balance their books, the outcome being one to improve their patients lot the other to pay their shareholders a good dividend.
No I do not think it should be privatised but the NHS should be properly run which has not happened for years regardless of the government in power.
I will not commenting about this again on here as this thread is about supermarkets not the NHS.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------- - 2 February 2018 11:55339068The article mentions falling passenger numbers prior to privatisation and rising numbers afterwards. Fairly easy to explain as rising car ownership meant that many of us drove to work but as time went on traffic got worse and parking spaces rarer plus of course the London congestion charge which sent many people back onto trains.
- 2 February 2018 12:15339070you guys took it there on this thread about the NHS in the first 2 comments? To say that rail privatisation has worked is to use a buzz phrase 'fake news' try asking the people who are late for work on a regular basis because of a train service that is not fit for use. When you introduce profit margins to vital services like prisons/trains/NHS etc the level of service will go down because there is no competition! If a supermarket is rubbish you go to another one. You can't do that with the services i mentioned as they are all we have and therefore should be run properly and without the need to skim a percentage off for the shareholders.
