The elephant in the room for the entire public sector has always been tolerance of incompetence at all levels and lack of action to get rid of incompetent people and institutional waste, so if this helps break that, then it’s a good thing.
On the other hand, I’d hate to see it go too far. With luck, a natural balance will ensue. Dead wood will be rooted out, standards will rise as a result of increased accountability, and net result is better education.
Of course it would work if the private sector was any better. Former public services now privatised would suggest otherwise.
Over bloated, over funded gravy train until you retire/then snigger whilst eating off your final salary pension pot MAWCB’s.
The bitterness. You can tell a tory nothing matters except the money.
So I have some of the most expensive energy in Europe coming from a privatised company now owned by the French govt. I can choose from 1 railway operator to get me to London from Reading and for £5k pa season ticket I may have to stand all the way home. Choice in water supply? Nope just leaky old Thames Water (in part owned by the German govt). Have standards really risen?
It doesn’t matter about standards. The Government is so ideologically opposed to anything publicly owned.
Everything that was won for ordinary people after WW2 is being undone by the type of people who ran the country prior to that conflict.
