Sale! Sale! Sale! Buy Stuff I Stole From Your House!

[Clinton Huxley]

Now, you may think you already own the Meterological Office, the Ordnance Survey, a share in the Channel Tunnel etc but that is very naive of you! It looks like our illustrious Govt is going to give you chance to...err....buy a share in something you already own. Not much of a share, obviously. The City will get most of it. If you can't sell something that the public own to your City chums, for a pittance, so they can asset strip it and make a fat profit, whilst sacking loads of people and providing a really shit service into the future, what's the point, really? Why be a Conservatice otherwise?

A Conservatice? Sounds kinky, which would be right up their street.

I'm glad there are a few Brits around here who finally get the point of Seth's impassioned Libertarian pleas to violate the US Constitution and the Enabling Acts of several US states and turn millions and millions of acres of US Public Land over to the states who foreswore any claims on that land and who will then dump it on the markets to benefit precisely those private and corporate persons most able to maximize their enlightened self-interests.
