Dcades ago now, it was understood by market traders that the next big investment opportunity was gaining access to the vast, untapped, financial potential of the European public sector, especially in the UK. There were billions to be made replacing a public monopoly with a private one. Often, public assessets were sold off quickly with the little understanding of their true value, so they were sold often at a fraction of their worth. The debts were written off by the state, Thatcher, and it was a license to print money.
