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