Donkeyman! 🤔🤔
I've got no issue as far as tax efficient methods are used and when push comes to shove "brands" must deliver into a competitive market together with non-brands.

From what l understand Bret, it will continue much the same,
But the tax payer will now be responsible for 100% of the expenses
and risk, whilst the private management companies only have to
issue tickets, collect fares and submit their bills for doing this
to the treasury !!
And it seems they are going to get away with this fraud !!!
