    National Grid and SSE move offshore over Labour plans - BBC News

    This is what Labour can do BEFORE they have the keys to No. 10...
    Does the fact that strategic national infrastructure, a necessary requirement for every home in the U.K., can have it’s ownership so easily transferred offshore not bother you?

    This is the problem.

        Can you honestly not just click a link and read?

        SSE said it had moved its electricity distribution business - which supplies 3.7 million homes in Scotland and England - to a Swiss holding company. It has also moved its Scottish transmission network business.

          They have to protect Labour from destroying their business, pensions, employees and shareholders. Labour are the great wrecking ball that leaves economies shattered for a generation.

          Labour in power means mass unemployment and poverty for everyone. There will be no "rich" to tax within 12 months, and then the Socialist machine eats itself.

              If Labour is elected to government by the people of the United Kingdom on a manifesto of part-nationalising of strategic assets, and the response by a private company is to move control of those assets overseas and out of the reach of the democratically elected government, the problem is with the private company being able to move those assets, not with the democratically elected government.

              Would your response to the control of strategic assets being moved overseas be the same if the reasons were different?

                  Yes, the conservatives dont have a plan to stop this. But if labour win and it happens then it will be the conservatives fault.

                    Thanks for confirming the Conservatives don’t have a plan to stop the control of strategic U.K. assets moving overseas.

                    Labour do. And if they are elected under their manifesto, they will have the support of the U.K. public to enact it.

                    So, by definition, yes, it will be the Conservative’s fault.

                      So, the SSE office I walk past hasn't moved, the company location hasn't moved, the FCA reg hasn't moved.

                      But you are sure SSE has moved.
