I also don't think that's how "supply and demand" works. When there's too much demand, they put prices up.

That works in an open market where one can actually choose where to get ones power from. Although one can decide to pay the bill to a different source, with utilities the supply is basically fixed. It's not like shopping around at different stores to find the cheapest coffee.
I was posting on what happened, not a "market theory"

With some things I agree. When Thatcher "sold the family jewels" everyone seemed happy that if they bought shares they made a quick profit. Then utility prices rose. The one saving grace was price regulations applied by the UK government without which prices would have risen even faster. In all I feel the consumer lost out on that deal.

privatisation ruined the railways and pretty soon it's gonna fuck over the NHS

NHS already fecked,its in terminal decline,I think part of growing up is when you start giving a shit about bills and saving money.

i'd rather pay more tax than have fat cats fixing prices, making it too expensive for poor people to get insured and bieng unaccountable when they fail

What would help the N.H.S would be doctors being made to serve a min of 10 years in N.H.S before they can go into private practice and pay back the ppl that trained them, same should apply for dentists.

I can't quite believe I read that correctly.

One for the archive.

The answer to all our prayers is "in terminal decline".

I heard it here first.:lol:

It's a nice idea, but they would just go abroad. :(

They usually do, I don't mind it when foreign doctors get trained here and go back to thier homeland where thier needed most but its the ones that have compared to the average person a life of luxury but feel that they should drive a bentley b4 paying back us taxpayers for thier years in uni running round stark bollock naked with traffic cones on thiers heads , I wonder where hippocrates is when they're discussing thier salary?
