A good article that seems to omit that the real reason for privatisation was to limit the ability of Trade Unions to challenge the will of government

Very reasonable - although arguable the anti-union legislation passed by the Conservatives in the 1980s had much more to do with crushing Trade Union power. By the time of privatisation many of the unions had already been defanged.
