Fair enough - I've just seen too many argument that X will change Y, when under inspection "X" is a proxy for a whole alphabet soup of other things that it's assumed will magically sort themselves if X happens.

The evidence of my lifetime, suggests that's not necessarily the case - both at the time of privatisation, and in how the industry has been regulated. And, even so, it's a "should" rather than a "would" - my question is not about the value...

Just quoting this - and it's my normal reaction to any proposal of structural change to fix a problem. What difference will it make, why, and how? That's not a value judgment, but to ask whether nationalisation (or even privatisation) will...

I'm not defending the water companies but, as a recent government commissioned report found, their failures are also a result of political and regulatory choices that have prioritised price. If the problems are going to be cured, honesty about...

I don't disagree - I'm no fisherman, but have family links with the Itchen Valley and recognise the importance of chalk streams. However, there are short and long term issues. What you describe are long term issues, which long pre-date water...

أعجب 35B بمشاركة 26D_M' في موضوع RTC 2026.

المشاركة في موضوع Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
On the contrary, I think the tourist potential of the L&B was realised and used - within the context of the tourism of the period (there is then also the question of the true motives behind George Newnes’ support of the railway!). A century...

So the land purchase bill trebles, and the railway then has to manage enforcement of any covenants if there's an attempt to breach them. The issue is a simple and hypothetical one to do with one particular site, while the Trust has the ability...

المشاركة في موضوع Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
The law doesn't necessarily support this view; it's relationship to a donkey may or may not be in question! More generally, the point is surely that if an organisation sells land, it needs to think carefully about the possible future uses of...
