"A consortium*of investors from Russia is understood to be in exclusive talks about buying Silverstone, the Northamptonshire track which is home to Formula One’s British Grand Prix"

Russians gear up to buy loss-making Silverstone 
 
p.s. I don't like the idea but it simply another rather public indication of how our country's institutions and infrastructure have been sold to the highest foreign bidder over the years.

Since they already own a sizeable portion of the premier league clubs is this any different? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_football_club_owners p.s.

I often wonder if we're all gonna wake up one day to a letter from the government telling us the've sold all the land and that we live on and we now have a lease hold with the Chinese!
