@SirJonCunliffe, a former deputy governor of the @bankofengland , presented a 464-page report on the structure and oversight of the water industry in England and Wales - and to scrap @Ofwat linkedin.com/posts/detter-%…
Staten kontrollerar halva fastighetsmarknaden med 15 procent av befolkningen som fått en bostad genom det offentligas försorg. Att jämföra med Singapore där mer än 80 procent av befolkningen fått sin bostad genom deras motsvarighet till allmännyttan. di.se/debatt/debatt-…
