Debate: Is privatisation good for Britain?

One of the most provocative legacies left by Margaret Thatcher was one of her core economic values - privatisation. Under her leadership, the government sold off utilities including British Steel, British Telecom of course British Gas.

The results of privatisation divided many and had mixed results. Even today, it's still a burning issue for many with the privatisation of the Royal Mail.

Has it benefited the country? Or will privatisation be remembered as the worst thing Baroness Thatcher ever did? %VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
