    No of course not, the Government should profit, firstly by stealing everyones shares, secondly by selling the company off, that's morally correct isn't it?

    They got away with it because NR were small, I wonder if they tried it with the Lloyds Banking Group who they bailed out if they'd get away with it? I doubt it..................
