Where on that wikipedia link you cited does it say it was a crime and corrupt?

Wikipedia doesn't make such claims in so-called 'in-wiki voice', since they are contested.
Rail privatisation was enormously complex. If you want to see a clear example of Tories using economic liberalisation to achieve political ends in immoral, a much better example is demutualisation of the building societies.

I think you could describe that as contested as well.

"that"? The account given of the effect of demutualisation in the article I linked to is not controversial. Obviously my claim that the policy of a political party was immoral is, but I know Tories who agree with me about this.
