Happier Times ? I'm still to be convinced that Nationalisation is a positive thing. You might look back on the time pre PPP with nostalgia but I remember it slightly differently. I remember years of pay rises restricted by Government pay policy because public sector pay is apparently inflationary. I remember restricted investment because of the public sector borrowing requirement. If you really think our pension will be safe back in the nationalised fold take a look at the state of the Royal Mail pension scheme, the Government is the only shareholder in that business.
I'm still waiting to see what the Union has to say at the meetings before I make up my mind.
