Why did we allow the Tories 1993 to sell off British Rail to 100+ privately owned companies?

Result? 23.5% train fare increase in real terms.

Infrastructure falling apart. Huge dividends to fat-cat shareholders.

Shameful.

“He’s the Prime Minster. He owes us honesty and we got nothing but mendacity, evasion, and vanity.”

This is why for so many of us Ben Elton was a bit of a hero with his anti Thatcher/Tory stand up routines in the 80’s #bbclaurak #wordsalad #benelton

Bad for passengers in the North East - where many don’t own a car & rely on trains to commute to work. No good if the one train per hour cancelled!

British Rail was very lean & cost effective before privatisation started by Tory PM John Major.
Sadly the passengers have lost out, the tax payers have lost out
£64.4 BILLION more than if had allowed British Rail to continue.
Interesting programme by #BenElton

All the right words in the right order. Well done #BenElton

There are some things that should have been too precious to sell
Water
Energy
Railways
But the Tories sold them anyway

🚨 | NEW: Tory MPs are FURIOUS with the BBC for comedian Ben Elton calling Rishi Sunak a “narcissistic sociopath” live on air

Definition: “a grandiose sense of self-importance, an attitude of entitlement or arrogance, and an excessive need for external validation”

[The Telegraph]

#BenElton is absolutely spot on about our railways tonight on Channel 4 a brilliant programme that's well worth watching. It'll at the very least make the public understand why RMT are fighting ✊✊
