Oh yes the wonders of PFI ... invented by the Tories and pushed forward
on an unprecedented scale by Brown purely so he could claim that the
books balanced while placing massive debts on the country and indeed far
more than if we had just paid for it up front. The private sector takes
the massive profits while the government takes the risks.

Thanks for that Brown ...

p.s. Did anyone mention the disastrous IT projects under the Labour
government. Yet more chances to give the likes of EDS some cash.

There are no facts about future events. Only educated guesswork.

Based on past events, I'd say public services are in for their usual bashing
under the Tories.

You clearly know better.
