More importantly than just brining in to public ownership is making sure you have the right person overseeing it,l.
Let’s not make the mistake of looking back at British Rail with rose tinted glasses, the service was appalling and the whole thing was a national joke with the slogan ‘we’re getting there’ being constantly ridiculed (and don’t get me started on the sandwiches which were the stuff of That’s Life legend)
It was a joke.
It was also a long long time ago.
Nationalisation doesn’t change performance - only good leadership and governance does that.
It’s a great policy in principle and a bold one.
Hope he sticks with it.
