Many falsely claim that the UK railways were privatised, and use this to justify their totalitarian socialism. The problem is that the UK government has always retained control over the railways via the State Corporation known as Network Rail ("Network Fail"). The "privatization" never happened. What we have is a veneer of free markets on a casket of socialism.

ABOUT TIK 📝
History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
