But you said my point was bleeding obvious – i assumed that meant obvious enough for you to undestand it

You are an utter waste of time. We agree on nothing except you argue like a five year old. Bye bye, sonny.

So we both agree my comment was correct – but because you dont like it you resort to abuse. Can i help it that i dont have the benefit of your towering intellect? What an arrogant fool you are!

Yes you just go on comforting yourself that making obvious statements in discussions that are way above your head is a “contribution”.

I agree it was an obvious fact – but obviously struck a nerve with you 🙂

The trouble with your “point” is that it is so bleeding obvious it isn’t a point at all. It’s a well-known fact. It isn’t up for debate. Whether renationalisation is desireable IS a debateable point. Stop wasting our time with points as obvious as “sometimes the sky isn’t blue” or “sometimes it rains when there are rain clouds but sometimes it doesn’t”.

Still missing the pont – are you an alias of leon wofeson? – all I was pointing out is that populist measures are not automatiicly good ones. No more no less

Yes. Lots of Germans supported the Nazis and voted for them. Lots of morons vote Tory even though it’s against their interests.
All that has absolutely nothing to do with nationallisation being demonstrably superior to privatisation in certain national and crucial industries. Oranges are not apples. If you lack the wit to understand how off topic you are I’m not wasting any more time attempting to educate you.

You are still missing the point – whilst the article highlights public support it is relevant to highlight that public sometimes support bad things

I am not missing the point you are attempting to make. I’m telling you that your analogy is illogical and has no place in a serious discourse. On top of that you just made an assumption based on your own prejudice ie “although they were probably asked leading question” for which you have not one jot of evidence.

The death penalty is a priori a bad solution to law and order problems. In addition it has been proven the death penalty costs the state more than life imprisonment. That SOME people still think it’s the right solution is only proof that there are a lot of unthinking sheep in our population.

Renationalising infrastructures as large as the railways for example can be proven to be the RIGHT solution as was demonstrated by the success of the East Coast line when it was taken back into public hands after its failure in private hands.

Hence oranges are not apples and arguing from emotion is worthless. Only facts matter.
