While I'd agree these are problems - it's not true to say it's nothing to do with taxation - reducing the tax burden on the rich results in less funds for this sort of social provision.

Ahh yep, I agree with that as well. Having said that I think selling the assets and renting them back means that what tax revenue there is, is structurally at a disadvantage from the days when the UK was prepared to own assets
