It’s a nice quip HIDDY, should be interesting to see what the EU comes up with. (I’m sure it’s a hot topic down there in South America
)
Maybe just as well the EU didn’t look too closely at BA’s balance sheet at the time of its privatisation. The privatisation was an undoubted success - largely because the newly-floated company was able to make a clean start, after huge accumulated debt had been written off by HM Government - aka UK taxpayers.
I guess many people have short memories where State aid is concerned .......
