The best investment we ever made.We can`t lose.We pay no tax and we own your country and all your infrastructure.Thanks George and Danny we won`t forget you. Your Government has reached an agreement to sell the taxpayers� stake in Eurostar for �757million as part of a privatisation push, to us,a well known multi national hedge fund. George Osborne and Danny Alexander have announced the sell-off of the high-speed rail operator connecting London and Paris for more than twice the expected sum.Eurostar is currently owned by three countries: Britain holds a 40 per cent stake, French state-owned rail operator SNCF, has 55 per cent,and Belgian counterpart SNCB has the remaining 5 per cent.

We should sell all our assets to foreign interests, companies like the French state owned EDF are far better managers and owners of our power grid than when Marxist uk taxpayers owned it. I applaud their business acumen, it would have been disastrous if our taxes were subsidised by asset returns which have obviously benefitted the notoriously left wing tolerant frenchies.
If you look up uk water companies on Wikipedia, you'll find a litany of proud offshore investors making a mint that would have only gone towards our own country's hate filled communist agenda. Good on them.

Politics of envy, that's what it is Sussex Dim. The closet Marxists lurking in Lewes envy good decent Conservative and Liberal Democrats who unburdened us of Royal Mail and Eurostar. Come on Mr Branson, let's get those trains running on time.

If we keeping buying more from abroad than we sell to them, then obviously most of our money ends up over there.
We could just keep printing more, but what if they wise up?
The only other possible outcome is that they use the money we have given them to buy our stuff.
Our industry, our water companies, our utilities, our land, our houses.
That is how it works.
