SHOCK HORROR MOVE AS CHINA BUYS UP GREAT BRITAIN.

.

China Buys Large Stake In Thames Water

.

The Chinese government has bought a significant stake in Britain's biggest water firm just days after George Osborne's visit to Beijing.

.

The country's sovereign wealth fund, China Investment Corporation (CIC), has acquired 8.68% of Kemble Water, which owns utility company Thames Water.

.

Mr Osborne, the Chancellor, has welcomed the move, saying: "This is a significant step by China.

.

THE MASKED WRITER SAYS.

.

It may be a significant step by China but is a sad day for Britain as it proves once again that we can’t even manage our essential utility’s, this country has gone from a nation of store keepers to a nation of store sellers.

.

We have sold the lot, it seems to be this nations psyche to be lazy, if just selling the goods inside the store was not good enough we had to go and sell the store.

.

This is such short-termism, having the money in the bank may look good for a week or two but once the money has been spent we can’t go and get out shop back, such short-termism.

This once great land has fallen from a great height and landed in a place where we now sell off the country’s wealth creating business rather than have to manage them our selves.

.

We had Harrods, SOLD,

.

We had Hamleys SOLD

.

We had Cadburys, SOLD

.

To name just three high profile ones but the list is endless from gas through water and even our very own stock exchange the lets play footsie with your money, we sold the lot.

.

And if the government, any government they are all as bad as one another the days could find a way of selling off the Queen they would,

.

Watch this space it will not be long before they float Her Royal Highness on the stock exchange :-(

.

I only hope I get a gong for services to blogging before they do or even those will be managed by some off shore interest..

.

Super sad The Masked Writer is a huge Royalist :-)
