    Forthcoming sales

    Some of the names in here, may surprise you!

    Royal Mail, NATS, Dartford Crossing, the High Speed 1 rail line and the ever-galloping Tote. But there's one business that could fetch as much as them combined: Network Rail

    I appreciate that, Opinionated. But do think back to the last great sell-off, we are all still paying the price for many of the privatisations!

    Well precisely! Whose core voters is privatisation going to appeal to? I doubt it's going to be Lib Dems.
