nationalisation of something like the rail network or the water network. it's a different argument.petition in the water business. there's no competition between rail tracks and therefore a central government involvement in that is very important because they are of strategic importance. now steel isn't like that. there is an enormous global steel industry, of which the uk is now a tiny, tiny part. >> we may bemoan that as the first industrial nation, but it is a fact and unfortunately, experience of nationalised industries is that things don't turn out in the way that you would have expected. >> we had a nationalised coal industry for many years, far from that , providing security in from that, providing security in our power supplies. we actually became so dependent on national union of mineworkers that we had major power cuts for two years in the 70s and a year long strike in the 1980s, steel was in effect nationalised in 1967. before then, it had been a heavily profit making company. quite quickly it went into losses because nationalised industries tend to get focused on the job
