As a friend of mine commented " David Cameron and the Tories wouldn't recognise a co-operative if it crept up on them and bit them on their arses." I doubt if Cameron will be following up on this idea for any of the companies in the private sector as it lacks one essential for them - the ability of companies to make profits out of workers labour power.

The reason why I mentioned "Soviets", is they were councils in Russia set up just after the communist revolution not dissimilar in principle to co-operatives. What surprised me was Cameron's sudden conversion to a basically socialist ideal.I smell a rat an Aunt Sally to set up and subtly primed to knock down.

The Tories idea of NHS and public sector co-operatives is laughable designed to split and isolate the NHS

This is about your friendly helpfull stealing Banks.
RBS the money house you rescued from the gutter, where it should have remained, is selling it's Energy Trading arm for 4 billion - except it has a problem: the President of the USA, no less. is seeking to ban Proprietary Trading ( this is trading in human essentials ie Oil, Gas, Water, Energy and Commodities) as this sort of trading increases basic prices by over 100%. Which is exactly where the Bankers get their Mega Bonus pay offs - right off the skins of you and your childrens backs.
As normal, our Downing St. Dick Turpins ARE PEEING THEMSELVES in case they are forced to do likewise. Where are all the handouts going to come from if they upset their masters.

NOW FOR THE FIGURES!
