The UK govt is made up of the people too stupid to refuse the job after the brexit vote. Their strategy is to hold on really tight, do nothing and hope their problems go away while awarding their friends massive no bid government contracts to do nothing. Im not just bring pejorative, come and take a look. The first thing PM did after the vote was resign. Theresa May took over and couldn't make it work. Now we have BoJo the Clown and he won because the oppositions best candidate was all but a communist who wanted to shut down most of the banks and all go back working in factories. BoJo's never had any strategy beyond opportunistism. That won't really work in this circumstance. Except that the sale could probably be approved if ARM spent £100m on "consulting" from a tory donor?

'a communist who wanted to shut down most of the banks and all go back working in factories' That sounds like its straight from the Daily Mail, quite unfair summary. In terms of economic damage, BoJo is certainly giving him a run for his money Back to the topic at hand: British state appear very reluctant to interfere with 'free market', significantly more so that the US government. I don't feel donation would be neccessary

  Don't get me wrong, Bojo is a turd and Corbyn at least had his heart in the right place (though that was was about 1952). He did clearly and repeatedly say he wanted to massively reduce financial services (where I work) and get people like me into factories to make stuff (I like a cushie office thanks, I don't want to work on a production line) though. I'd go further than you: the state won't interfere in the free market UNLESS they have a private interests (wealthy donors, personal fortunes etc) to protect. Its survival of the fittest for most of us. I'm jot quite sure what you mean by your last sentence? Donation? Sorry if I'm being thick.
