The shadowy groups who mostly consist of unelectable Tory fan boys who lurk around Tufton Street are plotting about what else they can privatise to make a quick buck for them and their mates.
There are a number of organisations who like to think of themselves as ‘think tanks’ or lobby groups that hang around 55 Tufton Street plotting further ways to trash the UK. Of course they make the trashing appear as if it is saving Britain from the forces of woke, immigrants, benefits claimants or the LGBTQ+ community.
The favourite ploy is to privatise something, especially if the government fund it, by offering it to their chums who then either asset strip it or ramp the prices up for a poorer service. If the service can be portrayed as a bit woke then they are also saving the country.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) isn’t popular with the right as they save the lives of boat people. A think tank has suggested selling the RNLI. They are suggesting a business model where people buy insurance and the RNLI checks they have insurance before saving them.
Mountain Rescue
People who walk out in the country are thought to be the sort of people who complain about building on the green belt. They are obviously woke and annoying them is fine. Selling off the Mountain Rescue and financing it through a similar insurance scheme as the RNLI has been suggested.
People who have pointed out that none of these organisations belong to the government have been vilified as anti-progress and part of the Deep State trying to block innovation.
Heritage Steam Railways
These aren’t an obvious target. They certainly don’t make a large amount of money, but they do embarras right wing think tanks. While the they are trying to push the narrative that the only smart thing to make organisations work effectively is to use business models, the heritage steam railways contradict this. While the big railway companies fail to get trains to run on time and maintain the rolling stock and infrastructure, the steam railways seem to manage it effortlessly. Frankly they are showing up the big railway companies and making mockery of privatisation.
