When they calculate the country's worth from a year to the other, do they give a value of assets? After selling banks, eurostar etc this Tory government is going to have nothing left as a safety backup.

They've set out in broad terms what's going and the public haven't a clue because the mainstream media has it's own interests. Basically if it's public it's going, starting with anything cash-providing or secured debt.

Who was it sold to?
Am I just being blind in not seeing who the buyer was?

It really should have been prominent in the main text, but it was behind a link


	Quote: The government has agreed to sell its 40% stake in the profit-making rail service for £585m to a consortium of the Canadian institutional investor Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and UK based Hermes Infrastructure.
