Would be very ironic if the Tories, who worship at the altar of private ownership and big business, and detest any type of nationalisation, would now obstruct any takeover bid for BT (if it happens). They may see it as a bit of a post-brexit, hands-off our institutions type gesture, so a bit of a vote winner possibly. As for security reasons, that horse has bolted. The fact that foreign oligarchs, investment funds and billionaire business men (Drahi) can contemplate takeovers is symptomatic of a weak state. Reap what you sow. GLA
