    Depends who owns them. But in my opinion, they should still be owned by the state.

    So not just security and defence of property then, you admit there is a larger remit for the state?

    Slightly yes, such as roads for example. But no health or education!

    Nice to see we are getting somewhere ;)

    Coincidentally did you have a private education?

    There are numerous economic grounds for state provision of education but if you are basing your argument purely philosophically I doubt they will have much impact....

    :D

    I disagree. At least Matt Cavanagh was able to back up his point with some kind of argument.

    Although, later in the article, we discover that Mr Cavanagh is equally barmy:

    'He accepts in his book that it is rational for employers to discriminate against women under 40 because they may take time off to have babies. He argued, however, the state owed a "debt of gratitude" to women for having babies, so discrimination should be barred.'

    :eek2:

    I like engineering. Trouble is, there are no engineering jobs in this country! People are hardly going to do a University course if they can't get a job at the end of it.
