    That’s not restricted to the UK. Conservative parties across the world use the same tactic. American conservatives have been trying to sell off the US Postal Service for ages claiming it’s “unprofitable” while strangling it with regulations and dumb rules like forcing it to fund pensions 70 years in advance.

      The notion that a public service needs to be profitable is so backwards.
