It still begs the uncomfortable question- how can you sell an entity and then demand it be broken up? Ferrovial will take the British Government to court and we know they will win a gigantic compensation, which will be paid......by the UK taxpayer. Having taken the decision to sell BAA to a private company, I'm afraid it's too late to decide it would be better to break it up. It actually belongs to someone else! In short, once again, we are compounding one balls up with another on top of it! And the taxpayer will pay yet again.
