  1. That is how business operate now. Get the company assets value. Borrow double the value in an era of cheap debt. Get a tax advantage from the interest payments. Dont pay the staff. Don't invest in infrastructure. Declare whopping dividends and bonuses out of the vast borrowings. Water companies owe £65 billion. This debt cannot be paid back other than by us as consumers or taxpayers. Remember the Tories designed and encouraged asset stripping and greedy profiteering

Adding another £1.2 trillion to the £2.7 trillion we already have. Oh ,and the £225 billion of student debt, £835 billion of QE, £110 billion of PFI......
