Make your mind up love.

I work for the British civil service where our IT was outsourced.

We went from nipping next door to "Jez" for any It issues, to having to contact a central IT support centre where our IT requests were sent to another agency who squirreled it out to various agencies which would eventually carry out work, each task with a cost.
If we wanted to move a computer we had to save up, we could only order in batches of 10 which cost £1000 each time. This on top of paying in excess of £300 a month per person that used a computer i.e. all the staff, in my site we had well over 300 people.

Jez earned 30000 pounds a year and would fix most issues that day.

The rail network in my area is privatised, gives a famously poor service and costs a larger percentage of GDP to subsidise that when it was nationally owned.

The buses are very expensive now they've been privatised and we have multiple bus companies on the same route so you have to often wait for the right bus to come even though the one that just went past goes right by your house.

I would agree about the buses being a disaster. Here one company drove all other competitors out, then cut routes and hiked the prices.
Ironically it was the same company as the rail franchisee so the train in the same livery, was cheaper, faster, more punctual and more comfortable than the bus running the same route. It wasn't uncommon to pass the bus on the train and see it empty whilst the train was full. The only real complaint was the fact that the franchisee had a fetish for pacer trains which could get overcrowded at peak times.

Nope the trains are a mess period

Imagine how bad the service and prices would be if it were renamed ‘Trump Rail.’

Sorry don't drink

Where's the outrage? If a black guy kneels during national anthem, conservatives see it as betrayal, go berserk calling for him to be fired, but when Trump uses national anthem to goof around and sit on chair, they see it as good for the country.

Yeah, they don't really give a shit about kneeling. They just get mad at people going against the grain, and speaking out against something. Especially if it's a black dude speaking out against something white people do.

That video shows that, at best, Dumbfuck has the attention span of a toddler who's just been bingeing on the coca-cola. Most likely it's depicting a Dumbfuck who think's he's now in the clear regarding his treasonous actions and mentality.
