Water.
Bankers and consultants
The new kid on the privatisation/mutualisation block is the
Scottish Futures Trust (SFT), led by Sir Angus Grossart.
Sir Angus is one of those bankers who got us into the current
financial mess. He used to be at the Royal Bank of Scotland who
together with HBOS regularly argued for the privatisation of
Scotland's public services. The irony that they have had to be
bailed out by the public sector is obviously lost on him. The SFT
has apparently employed the consultants KPMG to make the
case for privatisation/mutualisation. KPMG make a tidy living out
of the Scottish public purse already and can no doubt see big
fees to be made from privatisation/mutualisation.
