Corbyn’s folly

i aM old enough to know only too well what happens with nationalised industries. Overmanning becomes the order of the day because you don’t have to make a profit.

Plenty of people with job titles of co-ordinator and liaison officer will be recruited, along with equality monitoring officers. to the young, Jeremy Corbyn’s plans sound fantastic until they start paying the bills along with rapid inflation.

if these newly nationalised industries don’t make a profit, who makes up the shortfall? it will be either the Government or the customer.

Why Mr Corbyn wants to nationalise the Post Office is beyond me. Has he not heard of email? i doubt the young would know how to write and post a letter.

TED SHEPHERD, Windsor, Berks. NatiONalisiNG the energy companies would be a better deal for customers than buying from this current pigs’ trough of an industry. Money is chiselled from customers by a confusing array of mish-mash tariffs.

Ombudsmen are continually perched on the shoulders of the energy firms, somewhat ineffectually trying to temper their greed.

the Government should be more proactive in curbing squalid, unethical tactics or people will see Mr Corbyn’s nationalisation ideas as a great alternative. TED HUNWICK, Southend-on-Sea, Essex.
