That won't happen though, unfortunately people often need protection from themselves, and there's little that could be done to regulate it from the bottom up.
There's very little that I agree with Labour on, less so Mcdonnell, but this approach might discourage lending to those they shouldn't.
I am pretty sure that the contracts will be more than 'cost' to take over. Simply because companies have put their own risk and money in the PFI for a period of many decades. So they are not going to just hand over the contract and lose money.
You also have to remember that the PFI contract is not just a large loan on the building but it is also a service that looks after the building for the term of the contract. So even if you brought the PFI in house , you would have to do the service part yourself
The BBC’s political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, is being protected by security guards at the Labour party conference this week following abuse she has received over her role, according to reports.
Kuenssberg, who has previously been jeered by some Labour supporters, will be accompanied by a security team inside and outside the conference zone in Brighton, the reports said.
Kuenssberg has frequently been targeted with sexist abuse online and the BBC is understood to have given her access to a bodyguard during the general election campaign. The corporation did not comment on the reports of her protection at the Labour conference, telling the Sun on Sunday that it does “not comment on security issues”.
For perfectly understandable reasons, neither she nor her employers want to talk about it, but the fact that Laura Kuenssberg of the BBC is covering the Labour Party conference in Brighton accompanied by a bodyguard is an outrage that has not been greeted with the anger and disgust it merits.
