Chinese Water Feature

Nine per cent of Thames Water is once again state-owned.

The state in question is China.

George Osborne is delighted.

    Sorry to go off topic, but just read your 15th December article on the EU in the London Progressive Journal. From that to your women bishops/importance of fatherhood article in the May edition of New Directions - you have certainly written for an eclectic selection of publications in 2011. Here's to more of the same in 2012.

    Everyone who is anyone in the C of E reads New Directions, and that remarkable article has had a real influence. You have more in that now than you ever had when you were Anglican yourself.

    The LPJ? David Lindsay on the same bill as George Monbiot and Peter Tatchell? Yes, indeedy. As the first comment says, you certainly get around.

    It is ironic that privatized Western utilities will end up being state-owned anyway, only now it will be foreign states and not one's own country.

    The only upside I can think of is that some foreign state-owned enterprises are really excellent companies. I would rather fly Singapore Airlines than any of the private U.S. carriers.
