It's a harsh truth but one that is routinely ignored - companies (even our tiddlers) exist solely to make money for the shareholders. They have no other purpose. Products and services are merely a means to an end.
Public services shouldn’t be fully privatised, or at least laws should be in place to make the company and shareholders actually responsible for the service, and not just to live off the profits. (I realise that many on here believe everything should be privatised and anything that might be good for the country should be avoided for the the sake of profits)…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Hence we are where we are. And you can't pass some kind of generic law to cover that without buggering up a lot of other things.Blog? What blog...?Comment
