Frank, you cannot resist mentioning Corbyn, who is of course one back bencher and not a Labour MP. It is as though you regard the very mention of his name as a relevant issue. That is a feeble point, indeed a null point.

"It seems to be a problem with nationality, or we could call it racism. European companies that run british untilities will have to hand them back if they step out of line, the government is still in charge".

There is no other country that has sold off its electricity generating, gas generating and water companies such that they are now owned by foreign governments. As for racism that is utter garbage. Nearly all countries do lots of things which are in the best interests of their citizens, such as having armed forces, having customs officers, owning the companies that supply electricity, gas and water. The UK government has no power whatsoever over these French, German and Spanish government owned companies that now own UK utility companies. This is best known by the fact that French customers of EDF this year got a 4% price increase, whereas UK customers got incredibly extortionate price increases. This is happening for customers of all the UK utility companies that are owned by foreign companies that are state owned. These foreign state owned companies can never be forced to hand them back "if they step out of line". They have already stepped well out of line. The UK government lost all control long ago. Most assuredly the French, German and Spanish governments are in charge. They are taking the p­iss and pouring it into our rivers. This totally unforgivable situation was totally enabled by Margaret Thatcher's act of treason.
