Talking ATC sell off Yes or No ?

Lord Gus McDonald this afternoon stated on an interview on the BBC Radio 2 , " Nats has not been sold, we are in partnership with the Airline Group", is he telling the truth or not?
I thought you ATC chaps would be the ones to know!

We will probably be the last to know!

Sounds like old MacD and Johnny two Jabs are indulging in a bit of "electioneering" to me.

So, if NATS hasn`t been sold, what did the Airline Group get for their £800 million?

the airline group bought a 49% share of NATS so we have not been sold ...just a partial buyout ...mind you ..expect a full sell off after a year or so

So whats' Two Jabs bringing to this "partnership"? The Queensbury Rules?

I think not. More like the HULL CITY rules. Kick 'em (ATCOS) in the b**locks before they ask any awkward questions.

After Two Jags' recent performance what would happen if Blair was away on holiday, leaving TJ in charge and Bush made a comment that TJ did not like? He would be hitting that big re button quicker than you could say 'Sunnyside or scrambled? mr TJ'!!!!!!!!!!!

Go back to the link and you can now 'SPLAT' Beckham and his new 'hairdo'! (As well as Smiler, and 'Left Hooker)'!

Now how many ATCO's will vote for 2 Jags party?
