How much has privatisation cost you (this is a Q. for UK followers only, of course)?

the answer is around £250 per year for 15 years (at least).... so not so much the improvement of services then but rather the successful looting of the population while offering a decline, under-funded & increasingly decrepit service in a range of sectors.

Yup, we've been screwed!
