Saudi Arabia are set to become the major shareholders in Heathrow Airport.
It’s valued at 9.5billion.
I do feel uneasy about our* policy to sell things off to all comers who will absolutely have no interest in our wellbeing. Haven’t we learnt our lesson with the utilities?
I do understand that HR is in a slightly different category but it could impact negatively in the future if we fall out with SA. In this volatile world it could just happen.
Perhaps I am being too pessimistic?
* when I say our I don’t mean the government, it is shareholders that are selling off their holdings so there won’t be much that can be done to stop the transaction.
