Roger Out ... many of us really wished to take some form of industrial action in the UK prior to privatisation. Unfortunately it would have been against the UK Trade Union laws, so a non- starter.
A great pity, as I believe that with some form of action the media and the public would have taken note of, the government would have had enough serious doubts to end the proposed PPP (regardless of Gordon Browns spending / income plans).
As it was the PPP in the UK was forced through by a Government with a very large, and unassailable majority, regardless of the debates held in both the Lords and the Commons.
The result? A complete disaster.
