How do you know they're uniformly Guardian-reading?
A combination of an educated guess and the assumption that, if the majority read another newspaper, they'd have written to that.

Quote: Lucky / Nationalise B.A. - Beefster / Why?


Why no'? Although I'm biased & would re-nationalise everything gifted to the private sector since '79. The only thing in life I don't blame Thatcher for is our S.Cup failing, given that predates her by a couple of years.
The banks behaviour before during & after the recent catastrophe underlines what happens when you allow private individuals & groups to run anything without heavy government intervention.
B.A. has become a shambles, despite or perhaps because of the axe-wielders. These days very few unions try to bring their members out without it being the last throw of the dice; most folk can ill-afford to lose the money & we are unfortunately moving away from collective action anyway. B.A. management are trying to break the union once & for all, probably before whoring themselves off in some seedy sell-off.
Let me tell you, boy, come the revolution..actually the games about to start.
Still no reason? I'm looking for the benefits of nationalising BA to the customers and country.

Would you want Easyjet and BMI nationalised too?
