Can you imaging ordering your GPO "internet" facility, and having to

can't have it near the computer, you will need to move that to the hall!

Can you just imagine having a state owned company running the railways or
generating power, etc.

Yet that's exactly what we have. But owned by another state - not the UK.

Very easy to make any industry a failing one. State owned or private. Just
starve it of investment. That killed off most UK industries nicely. But
not elsewhere.
