.... and The Tory Toffs will give it away to their rich cronies who will milk it dry.

[ToraToraTora]

[newmodarmy]

Have you got an example canary of where it was given away?

[ToraToraTora]

could you perhaps give us some sort of clue what you are on about?

[THECORBYLOON]

Surely a tax specialist could advise the best way to minimize the tax liabilities?

[THECORBYLOON]

Ignore that!

[newmodarmy]

[newmodarmy]

[THECORBYLOON]

o god a clue for TTT - he wdnt recognise a wet fish it is flapped him in the face

er privatisation of the water utilities - Stiglitz nobel prize winner said -  privatisation may work but in the British model where the new owners run it into the ground and demand subsidies

Thames Water - borrowed money to pay a dividend

that sort of clue

capeeshy?

EDF arent innocwnr - isnt there evidence to suggest they used British profit to subsidise French companies?

[ToraToraTora]

PP I'm sick and tired of your cobras. Just go and annoy someone else. If we were in the pub you'get dropped.

[ToraToraTora]

so has anyone got a clue what this post is referring to?

Canary...are you talking about the train franchises. The companies pay for the right to run them until the contract ends. The franchise fees ate an income stream for the government. What is given away?
