Our whole tech stack is foreign owned and built. Everything from the CPU to the operating system and more. We live in a globalised system and there's no undoing that. The very idea of "nation" is being challenged.

To me the NHS is a hang-over from the 20th century, out of date and struggling to keep up. A new system of health care needs to take over. I'm not smart enough to know what that is, but I hope it happens soon.

>>Anything that is core to the function and well being of a state, being owned by a foreign nation poses a national security risk.

You mean like water? ... I believe we're the only 'developed' country in the world to have sold off / privatised it's water.

It's all we do. Sell our country down the river for the benefit of a few wankers.

I signed up to the link in the original post, but don't have that much hope. We'll sell our grandma if it'll mean we get a 50p voucher or save 2 more minutes of our day.

I think the only reason this is done is because we are in an era of exceptional illegal kickbacks. Unethical/illegal behavior has become so normalized that if you aren't actively working for a party who is doing it/doing it yourself you are losing.

That's a nice dream.
