I'm not a fan of private company's dealing with our essentials, however, they have been sold haven't they?
To private company's, if whichever party had said you can buy it but we the Government will still be in charge, surely they would have replied with something along the lines of, fine, we'll buy it but if you are going to interfere, for a lot less than you're asking.
