Plagarising the catch phrase from Dragnet - a television police series from the US, screened before most of readers were born - came to mind when reading this article from Bloomberg.
"The British government is seeking to raise more cash by selling its 71.5 billion-pound ($116 billion) stake in three crippled banks than Margaret Thatcher generated by disposing of state-owned businesses during her entire 11 years in office."
"A sale of the British bank stakes at today’s prices would leave taxpayers with a 21.9 billion-pound loss."
