Before I put forward my tuppence worth, I have to point out that this is in no way a xenophobic, anti-Muslim or anti-anything thread. However there are issues which may make a take-over of BA unworkable.
If I recall the facts, British Ports have recently been, or about to be taken over by a Dubai based company. All well and good, but included in British Port’s portfolio is New York. Something which the Americans had something to say about. I don’t know what the outcome is, but I know the Americans were none too happy.
