The unjustified hike of electricity prices by British Gas is all to do with the inefficiencies of that company and nothing to do with energy costs, which are in fact reducing. What this underscores is that a public utility is a unique entity. It is not like any other sort of business. From the inception of the notion of a universal public service, perhaps like the Royal Mail and later public drainage, some form of public authority was considered the best way to deliver them.

Then came Thatcher and the attack on public ownership, the demonisation of the State, the dismissal of society ‘there is no such thing’, and the sovereignty of the individual interest over the public good. This blog regards that as one of the most damaging political philosophies ever to take root, as its outcome, the disenchantment which has led to Brexit, the chaos of trying to implement it, the crisis in public service provision, soaring personal debt, the inability to balance the Budget and many other evils, all lead back to the launch of this misguided tinkering in the sensible order of modern interdependent civilisation.

Before the electricity was privatised we had the most advanced generation and distribution system in the world. Energy costs were reasonable. We led the world in building nuclear power plants. Then we privatised. You know the rest.

Adolf Hitler is reviled as the greatest tyrant in history. Yet behind this well-deserved image, there was a man with personal and political secrets known to very few and almost unknown to conventional historians. This remarkable novel reveals his hitherto unknown connection with England, including a doomed love affair and a secret pact with Churchill. It is based on the personal story of the author’s close family and includes a non-fiction Author’s Memoir. This gives personal biographical details and recollections, which reinforce Tor Raven’s conviction that his interpretation of real historical events is more accurate than the accepted truth. He gives you the opportunity to be the judge.
