    If the veil of ignorance concept wasn't new to you, your first argument would not have been that you were intelligent enough not to be in the losing 20% <whistle>

    Anyway I can think of a few ways to pull it apart myself.

    Essentially it's the government taking business off independent industries.

    The sin that is "Crony protectionism" is basically the government interfering in the market to use public money in order to keep a failing business/industry from going bust. It's worse that if it where to be a local baker or gym owner then the government wouldn't care. But yet Cameron and his cronies couldn't let the banks take the heat for their own failings and if it meant destroying the value of the pound then at least give them a interest free loan. If not let the sub-par business fall to be replaced by a more efficient alternative.

    At least Thatcher had the fortitude to allow the mining industry to fall on it's own sword and offer no bailout.

    Nowt wrong with that at all Pud. In fact i have the same .You would think the fellow that started this thread and thinks NHS privatisation would be a good thing would have some form of private health insurance .

    But no .

    Talk is a lot cheaper than BUPA though .

    You clearly have so little understanding of the issue you are attempting to debate there really is no point in discussing it.

    Why would that dead **** Thatcher bail out the mining industry when it was she who orchestrated its destruction out of revenge?
