Sorry, did we say asset sales? No, wait, we meant Mixed Ownership Model which, let’s face it, makes for a much better acronym, if nothing else.

No more SAS, with its visions of bearded assassins tearing across the desert in camouflaged Land Cruisers. Instead, lovely old MOM, dusting the flour from her hands as one of her famous apple pies waits in the oven for little Johnny to come home from Scouts.

Where is this all going? (And whoever said “to an offshore share fund, miss!” can see me after class.)

It’s going some way towards explaining to you, the Idealog reader who prefers a little graphic with their info, just what this whole asset sales thing is all about.
