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?
