Great – it’s not like private equity have a reputation for breaking up and selling off businesses or anything…
Private equity firms buy functional businesses, cut every cost they can (even to the detriment of the service/product), ride it until all the customers leave and then strip the assets and sell them. They have no interest in building functional businesses and are a massive detriment to any market they enter.
But…but… I was told British companies was not for sale after brexit ???? Theresa may ?? Was you lying ?? Sure fucking looks like it.
Looks like this article is trying to recruit bag holders
The real “benefit” of Brexit that we aren’t supposed to think about – the pivot to UK as US client state, owned and operated – is underway, I guess.
> [Boris Johnson, 2018] warned against being locked into the EU’s structures: ‘That’s not what the Americans want to see, what they want to see, like all our friends, is …’ [a deregulated crippled economy ripe for exploitation by rapacious US corps]
Britons aren’t the beneficiaries, of course, unless they’re amongst the very few positioned to line their pockets at the expense of the rest of the country in this situation.
You know a country is doing well when all it’s companies get bought up by foreign private equity firms. Roll up, roll up.
US firms that will be lobbying hard to strip our pesky employment laws etc.
