Leaving aside the party politics and personalities, personally I have always been of the view that key infrastructure should never be in foreign ownership and preferably not privatised. This includes electricity, gas, nuclear power, water, sewerage, internet, and possibly railways. It may also extend to refuse collection too. The water companies are a disgrace with the failure in to invest, deal with leaks and huge sewerage spills. It's all very well for the regulator to fine them but that simply results in higher charges to consumers. Total disgrace.
I'm also of the view that the Post Office and Royal Mail should not be separate companies with entirely different boards, and a public service like mail delivery should not be in private hands and especially not foreign hands. Royal Mail has nothing "Royal" about it really as a private company and is now pricing itself out of a diminishing market.
