Why did we allow the Tories 1993 to sell off British Rail to 100+ privately owned companies?

Result? 23.5% train fare increase in real terms.

Infrastructure falling apart. Huge dividends to fat-cat shareholders.

Shameful.

Currently on the impressive TGV. Five times the distance, in twice the time and a not dissimilar price to my last Trans Pennine ‘Express’ journey. Just another thing this government needs to sort out. #C4 BenEltonTrains #TheGreatRailwayDisaster #C4

The great con that is privatisation.
#TheGreatRailwayDisaster

The privatised UK railways have cost £64B more than if the had remained nationalised. Majority of that profit has gone to nationalised railways of other countries of Italy, France, Germany, etc #TheGreatRailwayDisaster

Highly recommend. #TheGreatRailwayDisaster #Channel4

Well let's get stuck into #TheGreatRailwayDisaster

The problem of 30+ years of privatisation screwing up our railways, probably would take as long to fix it under nationalisation. Public services such as public transport, water, power should all be renationalised and not just benefit a few shareholders #TheGreatRailwayDisaster

Shocking watch #TheGreatRailwayDisaster

#TheGreatRailwayDisaster If you dont vote to get the tories out this will happen to the NHS next #ToriesOut

Boris and the Tory party are a match made in heaven. There's nothing they haven't fucked or tried to fuck. #ToryBrokenBritain #TheGreatRailwayDisaster

Currently watching #BenElton 's #TheGreatRailwayDisaster whilst sat on a held SWR Help train at Poole because of a broken down train in front of us.
#Ironic

This is a brilliant watch. Ben Elton is absolutely spot on with his analysis of the state of our railways. #TheGreatRailwayDisaster #BenElton

There are some things that should have been too precious to sell
Water
Energy
Railways
But the Tories sold them anyway

Now look at us..

The scale of the disaster that is the privatisation of rail services explained in #thegreatrailwaydisaster

Syphoning tax payers money into private offshore accounts!!

Same with water now and sewage pollution.
Energy too.
Next will be #NHS

Watching Ben Elton's #TheGreatRailwayDisaster on #Channel4 -

The most biting, true-to-life appraisal I've yet seen, of the failures of UK rail privatisation in general;

And the paralysing, pathetic carnage of North-of-England train travel in particular

Calling it a film is fucking ambitious for a 46 minute youtube video. #TheGreatRailwayDisaster

Beeching... #TheGreatRailwayDisaster

Rail in Britain is so poor it needs improvements across the board.

Ben Elton’s #TheGreatRailwayDisaster is losing focus by being snide about #HS2 .

Water and energy next please #BenElton please. Expose those failed privatisations in the same way as this documentary does.
