The problem is rarely "capitalism", since most of the most glaring issues are either in highly regulated systems, or cases where the person receiving a service is not the one paying for it.

I think the average english person fundamentally lacks the mindset for capitalism to work, there is little trust in an individual, and too great a desire to have daddy government come make it safe. It's the unquestioning faith in top down measures that has lead to the current system, and pulling things back to public ownership won't fix that.
