Well there's bundles of concrete evidence there!
You can't even wait for actual bad news, nick. Vague rumours of a plan, that's good enough for you!

It seems to me that over the years things that were owned by the tax payer (GPO, British Steel, British Gas, British Rail etc) have been sold off. I'm not sure that the people of Britain actually own much anymore.
Is that a good thing? I don't really know but, if the UK were a business, I think it would be strange that it was selling off all it's assets.
Pretty soon there will be none left and no party will have the luxury of trying to make a few bob from selling off the nations assets.

Only get out what you have paid in and scrapping the onus of maternity/paternity leave being on employers.
Sounds fecking fantastic to me, but it won't happen.

Due to the efforts of those before us.
Your parents/grandparents/great grandparents etc etc etc paid for it!
Hard graft/taxation. That is why WE own it.
You seem happy for a Govt, any Govt, that spends OUR money and sells OUR assets just because they happen to have been voted in?
Sorry but you've 'owned' nobody. You've just completely disregarded the efforts of many, many generations......................and made a new friend in 'Stuk'.

Maybe next you'll only get a lesser standard of healthcare if you are 18-25 and haven't paid in NI contributions for years, or only get treated at all if you agree to repay the cost of the "loan"?
Maybe we could introduce treating childbirth care provision as a loan to the newborn baby;after all,then they would have longer to repay it than the average person?

We owned Royal Mail out of necessity, nothing more. In what's now a competitive market due to the law on having a monopoly, it makes sense to sell it.
You don't seem to understand the irony of nick exclaiming what belongs to us while repeatedly happy to argue that we don't pay the public sector's wages.

Presumably more of all this stuff 'belongs' to high rate tax payers and most of it to the really rich who have paid the most in taxes - the very people that nick and tux will have shot straight away come the glorious revolution.

Where have I said public sector workers aren't paid for by the taxpayer.
The public needs a service, it pays for it through taxation.

What a lot of bollocks...........it was just another state owned industry, that in this case I think was right to sell off.
Amazing how they are now making good profits.
And don't start telling me how all the workers are up in arms.
My other half is a postwoman,yes they might have to work a bit harder,but they had it to cushey for many years.
And its not just to quote one of you're fav lines"fat cat's" that have made money out of the sale.
Because every worker got a good amount of shares.

Usual double standards. Outrage from Nick when the government tries to stop terrorist apologists and worse spouting their vile, while he is silent when an 85-year-old woman is arrested, handcuffed and fined for telling some people to 'go home'. What happened to her freedom of speech? Similarly he supports the prosecution of a bakery in Northern Ireland for not supporting 'gay marriage' - even though such ceremonies are illegal there.
