Variously Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Private Eye have been banging on for years about Broon's use of 'off balance sheet' PFI borrowing to allow the treasury to do the equivalent of Joe Public maxing out their plastic.

I think that's slightly unfair, they're a current affairs publication so tend to stick to what's current. They do some decent investigative journalism too and are generally ahead of the curve on most things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happy? Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 ive had to downgrade private eye as they should have known this in 2002+another set of hustlers, corrupted by their own personal housing wealth perceptions methinks. now STHTF, and alos their equity dreams have been crunched, oh they are all so 'critical' under ever stone - theres more muppets. But they did and they regularly wrote on the subject. Paul Foot was banging on about PFI from before the period Labour was elected (it started under John Major and was massively expanded under Gordon Brown's period at the Treasury). Private Eye's coverage of the issue was so extensive that they published a special edition on the subject in 2004 - referenced here http://www.atypon-link.com/TELF/doi/abs/10...ournalCode=cien Perhaps instead of cancelling your subscription you should have read it instead - although judging by your paranoid conspiracy babblings it wouldn't have made any difference.
