You're not an idiot OP, so I am sure you are aware the party in government at the moment is the Conservative party.
Their modus operandi is selling of / contracting out public services to private companies. These companies are not appointed through any proper due process, rather through old boy networks (of institution private schools such as Eaton). The private companies then cannibalise/asset strip the service for shareholder profit. As the service continues to be gutted often the service goes from something that was profitable to the public sector to something that makes a loss supported by government subsidies.
Ie destroy a public service while channeling public money into private pockets.
It's a shame the party is a corrupt cartel; it would be nice if things were run to the real capitalist ideal; providers ensure a high quality service at affordable pricing through competition. Instead we are run like post soviet Russia; oligarchs being handed chunks of the country on a platter.
