I continue to be confused by the British political red line that other countries state owned companies can own critical infrastructure but we can’t. I suppose you must’ve had to live here in the 70/80’s but it seems a bizarre cognitive dissonance (alongside not realising Brexit happened on lies).

Again, it is incredibly funny to me that Donald Trump has somehow managed to turn Mark Carney - Mark Carney! A famously boring central banker technocrat! - into a nationalist folk hero.
