Privatisation is a scam, in the general election I gave this opening speech at a hustings, it rings true especially today
In my formative years, we had the global financial crash. This did not come out of nowhere, it was caused by deregulation from the conservatives and Labour didn’t try to prevent it by pushing change. In the past 40 years we’ve had mass privatisation and deregulation, this has harmed our country and has been the policy of all the other parties, but not the greens. The Green Party don’t want to see our Royal Mail sold off to a foreign billionaire, we don’t want to see our water companies owned by foreign investment firms and we don’t want foreign state railways to own OUR railways. We believe in Britain, we believe British public services should be owned by and in service of the British people. The neoliberal approach of selling assets to the highest bidder has broken Britain. The greens are the only party who want to try fix it.
