Is a Tory "market forces does the job" approach responsible for the slow return of Brits stuck in Libya?

[Cader and Glyder scrambler]

Other countries take a more pragmatic approach, and know "big government" is sometimes necesssary to organise things properly. Just assuming air flight companies are going to lay of extra flights for the sake of the profit motive or social conscience is not enough.

According to the "market forces" argument, Brits stuck in Libya should make their own way out!

Unfortunately the 'market forces' who employ the Brits stuck in Libya are not doing THEIR job! Their employees, their responsibility.

[inquisitor]

I think they were waiting for the private sector to take the initiative!

It is vital we get these people out but we haven't to lose sight of why they are there..
big bucks and to avoid British Taxes ..
The minute things go wrong they scream for the British Government to step in...
