This is not “the past” & this is not nationalization for the sake of political dogma. Furthermore, the same situation as exists with BA exists with many other airlines & with companies outside the aviation sector. Quite frankly, the whole industrial base is threatened with extinction. Where that would leave public order & the very existence of the State is anyone’s guess. This nationalization (& that of other industries) would be necessary in order to keep the industrial infrastructure of the country intact , & to give the country a chance of survival. Nothing less !
