    These are private companies and the government has little control over them.

    lol, they have an army, just send it in and nationalize the shit out of them. the government has as much control as it wants to have.

      I’m all for nationalising infrastructure, including houses, but you would still have to compensate shareholders unfortunately. If we didn’t (which is an option) the markets would react very badly and make Liz Truss seem like a genius.
