One of the great claims made from the time of Thatcher was that selling off state assets would result in more competition and would give consumer's more choice with cheaper and better service. How has that worked out? Has selling water companies or deregulation of buses make the service any better? Has ability to switch bank accounts or changing electricity or phone suppliers led to cheaper bills or a better service? Was this always just about extracting value for big business and shareholders?
