Yeah, things might have been tough during the War years,
but some Ryanair flights are arriving more than half an hour late nowadays.
Things are much tougher nowadays, I tell ya.
Tis a good job that irritating little man O'Leary wasn't in charge of the War Effort, innit?

Very good footage but very jaundiced view of orivate v public ownership

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Since WW2 the U.K. railways both in public, then private and now back to public ownership, are in a terrible state - only when an external body from the Far East takes direct and complete control of the U.K. railways as the only solution, with the relevant legislation being passed in parliament to facilitate this, can the many problems be resolved

Ain't gonna happen, is it?
You're day-dreamin' ...
Britain give up its sovereign nation-state ownership of its own railways?
Dream on boy.
