Brown was advised against selling by the Bank Of England, amongst others, but he went ahead anyway.

The 1.2 million who abstained from voting, probably couldn't be bothered, if you really want to vote, you will. Will you supply details of the Brexit supporters who abstained from voting, rather than voting Tory please.

I was referring to the sell off by Brown as you know, the fact that the Bank Of England advised him against it, is ignored by you.

In 1970, I was a young woman, not remotely interested in politics. I was too busy being a wife and mother.

The two links I posted ( of just a sample of many) one being from the FT supported the sell off and several have also confirmed that it's a red herring rolled out by the Tory Party when they have no better argument to put forward. You can read the two articles if you wish and there are many more that come to the same conclusion.

As Jim Ward wrote, there's little comment about Thatcher selling off all our nationalised industries and I believe he's asked Firefly the question and is still awaiting a response.

A debate about how to fix things and stop blunders like the gold and Royal Mail sales might be boring, but it’s what the country needs.

THe FT article was behind a paywall. Did you read the last line of the Mirror article?

Here it is:

So an article that is supposed to saying that nothing was wrong ends by calling it a blunder.

Not diminished, just bored, waiting for another dog with teeth rather than bare gums.

Now that made me laugh!! Remainers lost the referendum, lost the election and are now desperately scrabbling for something else to complain about. What a pity the don’t want to get behind the PM and support his efforts in doing what’s best for Britain.
