    Privatising our roads will be a terrible deal




    Privatising our roads will be a terrible deal ? just as it was for the telecoms and water industries

    Einstein defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". In which case, going by his speech yesterday on overhauling Britain's roads and airports, David Cameron is mad.

    And this nation's potholes are only the beginning. Cameron talked yesterday about the need to upgrade everything from broadband to the rail network, while the national infrastructure plan launched during last autumn's mini-budget identifies more than 500 projects in need of urgent attention. Given the coalition's swingeing cuts on capital spending, the implication is clear: Cameron wants the private sector in charge of the bulk of those upgrades, too.

      The road are already as good as privatised. I can't remember the last time I saw the council build or repair a road.

                  Bit extreme though. Do you want one that still exists now?

                                  Don't be cheeky - that's a picture of the proposed new quality road that Dave Cameron has in mind when he sets up quality assurance of road building by paying private companies public money, or charging motorists to drive per mile.

                                      The ~~~~in gypos will make a fortune putting in the tender for all that tarmac. And just imagine how much they will be able to skim to do the driveways cheap
