....Associated British Ports has just become the latest big UK company to pass into foreign ownership, after a consortium including investment bank Goldman Sachs clinched a £2.5bn takeover deal.
As a result of successive sell-offs, large parts of Britain's infrastructure are now owned by companies based elsewhere.
Many of the assets involved were originally state-owned before the wave of privatisations that took place in the 1980s....

There goes more silver .. easy to sell when you never really paid for it.

Why is Johnny F so eager to buy? Perhaps he sees us as cash cows for the milking ... Our Governmment sticks it to us - Geese for the plucking - I guess they all fancy their chances,
Utilities, Airports, Seaports .... Whilst we spend billions liberating perhaps, the un-liberatable..
:roll:
 
Apparently we have little protection against overseas consortiums coming in and buying us up. The rest of Europe protect their industries against foreign buy-outs.
