My British based High Street company banks a fortune in Guernsey every year...I'd be delighted for them to actually pay their dues ! They already have more money than they will ever need.
Re-nationalisation of any sold off amenity will be very difficult though. Going to cost a fortune to pay of all the foreign companies that make good profits here for their shareholders abroad. I agree it is the right thing to do as I think not one privatised utility is cheaper or more effective...
