My first moan

The good thing about blogging and the internet is it allows self-righteous opinionated people like me have a voice and a place to vent our spleens. No one may ever read this, but we can fool ourselves each day that we are being read by thousands of people and our words are enriching their lives.

More than likely, someone may actually see this as it is my first post, and Blogger may stick it somewhere for that very reason. So if so, and that is why you are here, then welcome and thank you very much.

Todays rant is about the selling of UK companies to foreign companies. Scottish Power may be sold to a Spanish company this week, meaning that we will pretty much be at the mercy of the Spanish for electric power in Scotland, and at the mercy of the Russians for our gas. Woo Hoo, lets hope there is never another European war, because we are toast, or we would be if we had anything to make toast with at that point.

Not only that but we sold our airport authority to another Spanish company Ferrovial. So we are not allowed to take a bottle of coke onto a plane, but we can let a company from another country run our airport security operations. Hmm, seems like nae common sense to me!
