    Why does it feel like every UK govt.'s response to any struggling public good is “Well, there is a nice man here offering to buy it, and we don’t want to spend any money, so he’s going to have it”.

      Because democracy is a temporary embarrassment to the feudal aristocracy and it is rebuilding feudalism through privatizing ownership of public goods.

        I don’t understand the fuss.
        When my family’s estate was threatened, we sold the eastern farm to that fellow from the club, and it all worked out swimmingly.
        This is no different, we just need to pull up our bootstraps, and stop whinging about “chilling effects on journalism”.

        Now please excuse me, mummy needs a brace of pheasants by lunchtime.
