Bullshit,there has been little improvement in the rail service since privatisation. What has happened is fares have gone up by hundreds of percent and in scotland our rail network is run for the benefit of dutch shareholders. Yes british tax payers are paying for nationalised services in europe. Deutsche bahne for instance is a private company that runs germanys rail but it is 100% owned by the german state. It also runs arriva in the uk at great profit. Absolutely crazy.
As for corbyn the general thrust of his policies are fine and just,and would improve the lives of millions of people. And going by polls these policies are extremely popular with the electorate. The problem with him is one of credibility,and the team around him are weak. He's not a very good politician IMO but its been interesting seeing him grow in confidence on the campaign trail,he's a natural campaigner whilst theresa may looks extremely uncomfortable away from westminster.
Its funny how labour have to cost everything to the penny (indeed they have offered to have their manifesto independently audited if the tories follow suit - of course they refused) yet gideon osborne was allowed to spunk 750 billion and left us as a country with the square root of xxxx all with zero scrutiny. Its a total myth that the tories are more fiscally responsible than labour.
