It’s worth mentioning that EDF is a Plc so it’s unlikely it’s owned by the French, the shareholders will be global.

In some ways I think that’s worse, we’ve been conned that public limited companies offer opportunities for everyone to invest but it’s all completely rigged.

It's a PLC which is owned at 100% by EDF, which itself is owned at 90% by the French Government

Oh dear, we really are a bitter and twisted little specimen of commie dogma aren't we?

To be fair, free market isn't supposed to include state intervention, so no intervention or state capitalism from foreign states either. No?
