How much does that article read like something from The Daily Mash?
I might put in an offer for the Dartford crossing. £160k, no chain and we already have our mortgage sorted.
Wasn't it the Dartford Crossing that was supposed to be "Given back" to the people around 6 years ago when it was fully paid for????...

It causes endless traffic jams, air pollution and is wasteful on fuel.
All to collect another tax...where are the green credentials?0 -

We're selling the Tote.
What is the Tote? Anyone know?
Can we sell some more things I've never heard of and didn't know we owned for lots of money, please?
Like the exercise bike and the video collection?0 -

Nothing new - Gordon's been trying to shift it since 2006, and it was in the manifesto to do it in 2001!0 -

Does selling off the student loan book scupper the tory plan to give a 10% discount to graduates paying back their loans early?
Student Loans company would still have to administer the scheme due to the HMRC link up with PAYE.
Tories could still do this but they would have to pay the people who owned the loan book so not likely. Way to go Gordon good way to stop another Tory good idea! Plonker!0 -
Makes sense to be honest, this stuff is all tat, I didn't even know the Dartford Crossing and the Tote where state owned.0
