OK, here is some source material on the infographic, so you can know for sure that I'm not just making it up.
Source one: Railways
Here's the original source: New chief's challenge to get Railtrack back on track - Financial Times
Here's my article explaining more about what this means: Tory rail privatisation and the £50 billion black hole of debt.
It's also worth considering that despite this hidden debt-hiding subsidy, the private franchises also receive more in subsidies per year than the annual cost of running the entire British Rail network, tracks and all, before privatisation in 1994!
Source two: Broadband
Ironically the CEBR report into the economic benefit of super-fast broadband was commissioned by the private company that's done such a lamentable job of rolling it out so far (BT Broadband). The UK has below 10% access, while advanced economies like South Korea and Japan are up to 98% and 97% already.

Source three: Royal Mail
Here's the Daily Mail article explaining this extraordinary Royal Mail property portfolio under-valuation: Royal Mail 565% mark up on land sales
Here's my article: The Royal Mail property privatisation scam is really paying off (at the public expense)
Source four: Water companies
You can read the damning University of Grenwich report into water privatisation here: Privatised water: a system in need of repair
