Qatar is buying the UK?
 
Apparently Qatar is thinking about investing 'heavily' in UK infrastructure. This rallied the pound. Good eh?

Having spent 2 years in Qatar, I'd have to say that Qatar's understanding of the concept of infrastructure is limited at best.
As for the dentistry.............

S and T they do every summer. The Royal Family that is, you must have seen the pictures of their supercars that they bring on holiday with them, clamped outside Harrods (which they own).

I would question, who are they buying it from??

Because very little of it is British owned.

Not sure i agree with that. Looks like they plan to buy M&S next, that is still UK owned.
