Family heirlooms
Some time ago, the then British government decided to sell off the
family heirlooms, with the claim that their customers to receive better
services and better value. It was politically contentious then
as now.
But we as a nation have decided that it is not a good thing for our
government to run large swathes of the service industries. We must have
done, because we have not subsequently voted in government that would
reverse it.
So, in that case, why on earth are we letting the French
Government buy them up instead?

NEW! - Branch Office!
Yokel has recently established a Branch Office, where this blog can also be found. Thanks to Yokel's distant (non-)relation in parts further east
http://yokel.mail15.su will have a copy. Until Yokel manages to learn all the tricks of the trade, the version at http://yokel.mail15.su might be a day or several behind.

About Yokel
English born and bred, but now an outsider in this "Land Fit for Heros" that his parent's generation fought and died for.
Frustrated that no-one can seem to change the long term goals of our rulers!
This fine figure of a man could be my Great Uncle Yokel. The picture was found in East Anglia where the likeness had been prepared by Barré Funnell, and realised by Anne Funnell.
He could even have been the English Yokel who is reported to have said: "Sometimes I sits and thinks, but mostly I just sits" .
