00:00No, I don't know much about that, but I wouldn't let Labour take anything into their hands.
00:05I think it would get worse. I think some things have got to be run privately. The way Labour's
00:10record in the first two months, I think, is shocking, so I really don't listen to them.
00:16I think if the companies are fighting, you can fight higher prices and lower, but if
00:22the government take over, I think everyone would be a bit the same. So, depends. I don't
00:29know. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously, there are things which are better privatised,
00:35but I think if it's a national industry of some sort, it should at least stay that way,
00:41let's say to 51%. I think the government should be at 51% just to be able to keep tabs on
00:47it. Again, back to Germany, the railways over there, they are national railways to 51%.
00:55They're a catastrophe, absolutely a catastrophe. They're worse than the trains over here.
