Why does Rishi Sunak talk down the UK? I blame David Cameron | Zoe Williams
www.theguardian.com
It takes a rare mix of melodrama and disloyalty to stand outside No 10 and declare that the country is going to the dogs. But other Tory PMs blazed the way, writes Zoe Williams

    Thanks for writing this.

    When a nationalised company is seen as inefficient or poor service. We all instantly know who to blame. The ministers in charge of that company. Whereas we see an extra layer of blame for privrate non competing companies.

    Specifically this aspect is not something I’d really considered before but it’s an astute point.

      Thank you. It is a topic I have been thinking about a lot today. After reading lib dem plans to replace water companies with public benifit companies.

      So that post turned into a rant as I clarified ideas in my mind. Sorry.

      But I have decided to save it clean it up and use it with other nationalisation debates. I think the ideas are worth sharing.

      Thanks for responding.
