Friend Moonbat asks an interesting question today:
Why is Britain using aid money to persuade South Africa to privatise its public services?
Difficult one Georges old boy. Steel, coal, telecoms, water, electricity, the National Grid, British Leyland, well, you name it, we privatised it. We found that these private companies acted in a more economically rational manner than they had when in the public sector. I may be being a little over the top here but I would think that if you found out some truth about the world and then refused to tell that truth you would be, what, silly? If you further refused to tell that truth to a country that you wished to aid, indeed were spending money on aiding, and refused to tell this truth because it was a predominantly black country, why, I think you could be justifiably accused of racism.
In short George, we’re telling them to privatise services because we’ve found that doing so works.
