That worked out well, didn't it?

 


This is from a Conservative campaign letter addressed to my younger daughter who came on to the Neath electoral roll in time for the 1997 election. It is a reminder that it was that nice Mr Major who was responsible for the worst of the privatisations (British Rail) and for initiating the post office closure programme so enthusiastically continued by Blair-Brown. Time has also shown how specious were the original arguments for privatisation.
