I don't if this a major item of news in the US but there is currently
a big debate between the Labour party (the political party currently
in government) on whether to privatise certain part of the
telecommunication industry in this country.  I wonder if anyone out
there got any thoughts on this subject.  Also I want to know why the
left wing of the Labour Party and some of the unions are so opposed to
the whole idea of competition.

Cheers,
