UK: Secret nuclear sell-off storm

UK: Secret nuclear sell-off storm

www.independent.co.uk

Britain no longer has any stake in the production of its nuclear warheads after the Government secretly sold off its shares in the Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston.

Ministers agreed to sell the remaining one-third ownership to a Californian engineering company. The announcement, which means that Americans will now produce and maintain Britain's independent nuclear deterrent, was slipped out on the eve of the parliamentary Christmas holiday. Officials refused to say how much the deal

UK is selling off assets that are of high to interest to the public.

UK are not just stopping there! they are selling off The Royal Mint!

How would these decisions fuel the NWO and their scams that are in the works?

Following is a list of more things they are going to sell off!

This is a MAJOR concern for the UK people!

*The Royal Mint

*The Tote

I believe the people who are 'calling the shots' know what they are doing.

I am sure however, that whatever they do WILL NOT be in the interest of the people.

What do you think is their plan or getting the world ready for?

Mass chaos.
Sorry for the one liner.

Why on earth are we selling this kind of stuff to a foreign country? Allies we may be, but nevertheless Britain must be able to independently produce its own nuclear warheads. Aldermaston should never have been privatised in the first place.

Whats wrong with you outsiders? Don't you trust us? We can guarantee your safety with nuclear weapons.

There's very little British about Trident at all, apart from the submarine itself. The supposedly British designed warheads are little more than the American W76, with a union jack on top.

I don't think this matters a jot.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I think if I ever start to understand what the hell is really going on my head will explode.

I tend to agree, I am far more concerned with the idea of the Forestry Commission being privatised.

Most things on that list shouldn't be privatised. There are some things which are better off under public ownership to be used to provide a service rather than make money. Nuclear warheads is one such example, but the Met Office, Royal Mint, Forestry Commission and so forth all fall under that category too.

Hell, even the Tories are concerned about this and it was they who sold most things off in the 1980s... that must tell you something. The fact that Parliament haven't even been informed is also disturbing.

When money is involved, there is no such thing as ''foreign country''. Globalisation is the greatest money machine we have ever seen, and with this, outsourcing and fire-sale bonanzas to other buyers is what the little guy calls 'them foreigners'.

Its just business as usual!

Does Parliament need to be? Honest question, I'm not entirely sure how these things work. I follow the property auction market and a lot of government property gets sold off that way...in dribs and drabs, the odd bunker here, river authority properties, MOD land etc etc. Presumably someone has to be rubber stamping it and if it is in little batches it barely blips on anyones radar. I am presuming that this is the work of the Civil Service and Gus O'Donnell (or the devil incarnate as I prefer to call him).

Legally probably not, but some of the things listed are very important... perhaps not the Tote, but other things like the Royal Mint, Met Office or AWE Management Ltd undoubtedly are. There are rumours that parts of Royal Mail are also being considered for sale to German/Dutch companies. The fact that the news only appeared after Parliament had risen for the Christmas recess also suggests an unsuccessful coverup.

This is why I have some reservations about the Milliband brothers bridging as they do the current labour government and the Privy council, all a little too incestuous for my taste.
