It is far to risky and capital intensive for banks to hold such assets on their balance sheets. I dont think that the Rothschilds have any involvement at all.

On a serious note however, why is is considered reasonable for a private company with a monopoly to fleece its customers in roder to fund investment in improving its infrastructure? In any other industry, if a company wishes to upgrade or expand its business, it re-invests profits, or gets a loan from a bank. why should rail operators be any different?

And the same thing is happening world-wide. THE BANKS ARE TAKING OVER PRETTY MUCH ALL THE WORLD’S INFRASTRUCTURE! Even in so-called ‘communist’ China. These are not British government initiatives – they are Global, because somebody is pulling the strings of the world’s government’s – and you can bet your bottom dollar that the Rothschilds are involved. Unless we wake up, we’ll find that the whole planet is run by one global corporation, with all the remnants of democracy eliminated. People laughed at David Icke, when he said this 15 years ago, but it’s all coming true.
