OK fair enough, BUT I would still want to see it black/white as something that pays off.
Interest rates are f-all atm but inflation is rising which cuts debts down too. So your site link has a couple of great pointers, but have they [gov that wants to sell] done the maths? :)
And is selling something to cut costs the same as an investment? Well perhaps if you can invest the money and ensure you have a great return, but if you use it to pay off bills on a low interest rate loan... etc etc.
It's after all tax payer's money. I'm not always anti privatization, but I'm just a little distrustful of it. We've had things privatized in the Netherlands too, and often it ended up costing money, not saving it. It really depends on HOW you do it and what checks/balances etc..

Er, wot??? Unless they can show in black/white that's going to save cash it sounds well dodgy.
Flaming clitori, hah, not bad not heard that before :)
