#Privatisation
The Privatisation of History.
As I have said, Grokipedia is exactly what you would expect it to be.

Musk is trying to control what information and disinformation you get, and to push the world further to the right.

He hates both facts and freedom of speech

150,000 aged 90 and above wait 12 hours in England’s A&Es each year.

Older people left in excrement, wet beds, denied pain relief, forced to watch/hear other patients die.

NHS money pilfered by PFI and privatisation

But ... Govts have fiscal rules and don't want to tax the rich.

NHS trusts are locked into paying private companies more than £20 billion 😮🚨, and it looks like Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer are planning more NHS privatisation…

Il faut nationaliser ArianeGroup !
Pour rompre avec la longue marche de la privatisation et assurer notre indépendance dans l’accès à l’espace, je propose avec mon groupe parlementaire de nationaliser ArianeGroup.

“Privatisation was the experiment — and it’s failed. We have water companies pumping sewage into our rivers and charging us extra for the privilege.”

Zack Polanski says it’s time to bring water back into public hands on #BBCPoliticsNorth.

TL:DR - we’re acutely vulnerable to fascism thanks to decades of destruction and privatisation of state capacity and horrific all-media hate campaigns against liberalism, multiculturalism and anti-racism. If you want us to develop antibodies, we need to *fire the motherfuckers responsible for that*.
The reason this Nazi crank keeps arsing on about Britain specifically is that he has noticed that here, he is pushing at an open door. We should think about why that might be so.

Former Conservative, now Reform UK MP Danny Kruger wants prisons to be run by the private sector, not the public sector

Because privatisation of all of our other public services has gone so well 🤷‍♂️

Grog's rule of privatisation:

"The day you decide to allow the private sector deliver a public service is also the day you should set the future date for the Royal Commission into abuses in the system."
Adele Ferguson (journalist leading an ABC investigation into child abuse at childcare centres) just told ABC AM that 84% of child abuse occurs in "for profit" (eg privatised) centres.

These centres are putting making money ahead of checking for pedophiles. Who cares about pedos? There's $$ to make

While Streeting blames junior doctors
for hurting patients
you can bet that privatisation funded Streeting
is hurting us much, much more

"Streeting admits he could have provided more doctor training but chose not to" www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...
Streeting admits he could have provided more doctor training but chose not to
Wes Streeting continues his rampage to smear doctors strikes - unfortunately for him, he also let slip his failure to train doctors

plugging leaks & building reservoirs
and - whoops, after privatisation
all the private water companies
decided to syphon £billions
into their shareholders
offshore accounts instead

NHS needs up to £3bn extra to avoid cuts, health leaders warn.

Cuts = money wasted on redundancies.

NHS leaks money due to PFI, privatisation profits.

6.26m await 7.41m England hospital appointments.

Can't expand economy without healthy workforce.

Must increase NHS capacity. Pay doctors/nurses.

Health leaders say progress on reducing waiting lists will be affected if there is no help in making up the financial shortfall.

Pragmatic, or something darker? 👀

Streeting’s talk of using the private sector to “bolster” the NHS sounds worryingly like the door to privatisation being pushed open.

We shouldn’t have to guess where our Health Secretary stands on public healthcare.

Child care in Australia is a mess. Assault & battery commonplace, many centres a paradise for pedophiles.

Every time I hear of another one I'm reminded of Liberal PM John Howard's "I am firmly of the opinion that services are best provided by private industry."

Privatisation for profit is ruinous.

Bus union RMT has welcomed the Bus Services Act becoming law, as a step towards stemming the decline of the industry in England. Councils will be able to control bus services again.

The Bill was introduced in recognition of the decline in the sector from "decades of deregulation and privatisation."

Ce gouvernement n'a aucune chance d'être réélu et il le sait. Arrêtons de décortiquer les articles de cette nouvelle loi et de palabrer sur ses implications. Le seul et unique but de la loi 2, c'est d'accélérer la privatisation du système de santé et de détruire ce qui reste du réseau public.

From a purely novelistic point of view: Reform et al will use the economic damage to springboard into a discussion of a smaller state - meaning NHS privatisation and tax cuts. There will be no acknowledgement of causation.

Honestly, it was just weird how RTD spent a lot of his time away from the show warning about the privatisation of the BBC, then starts working on the show again and ties its fortunes to an international media conglomerate
