you're thinking of Buffoon.
"Boris Johnson is planning to spend as much on public services as Jeremy Corbyn promised at the last election and cannot afford the tax cuts he pledged in the Tory leadership campaign, a think tank has warned.
The prime minister’s proposed spending spree would mean Sajid Javid, the chancellor, overshooting the government’s borrowing limit by £5 billion in 2020-21, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, which said that the government was “adrift without any fiscal anchor”.

"Boris Johnson used his first speech outside Downing Street to reiterate promises to spend more on police, schools and hospitals and to “fix the crisis in social care once and for all”. During his leadership campaign, he also pledged to cut income and corporate taxes. Johnson has also said he will support the UK economy through leaving the EU, while his predecessor ramped up expectations by committing to “end austerity” – following nearly a decade of cuts to swathes of the public sector.
Without full details of the Prime Minister’s proposals it is difficult to put a precise cost on these promises, but they could run to tens of billions of pounds a year. This begs the question: How will he pay for all of this?"

No, they spend the money differently...
And we are also subsidising them through privatisation in the UK...
Because they profit from our railways!

"The plan: Immediate funds to help prepare the UK for a possible no-deal Brexit on 31 October.
What it means: Just over a week after Mr Johnson become prime minister, the Treasury announced that £2.1bn would be spent bolstering border and customs operations, stockpiling critical medical supplies and supporting UK nationals abroad. Money will also be spent on a public awareness campaign ahead of a possible no-deal Brexit outcome.
The cost: Ramping up no deal preparations will cost £2.1bn. This is on top of the £4.2bn Theresa May's previous government had already allocated on preparing for Brexit - with or without a deal.
In total, the Treasury has now made £6.3bn available since 2016."

Too much logic for a Brexiteer.
Brexit to them is a world that never existed and never will.
Here is a more recent link.......

You mean filly provides a link which he never actually read because if he did he would realise it does not support his argument.
I think he takes lesson from the Guilliani school of Negotiation and Persuasion - act as incoherent as possible, remember the truth isn't the truth.
thank-you Notch, interesting read, although even your link re-affirms the EU aren't overly keen on public monopolies.
Britain’s railways are already partial nationalised, as Network Rail is a public body. Although, reinstating a national rail monopoly under current EU rules would not be possible, there are ways that Britain could return many of its railway services to the public sector – Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands all show how this can be effectively done.
It would appear our European 'friends' are a little more savvy in circumnavigating some of the rules but still suggests a 100% state monopoly is unlikely.
Fantastic reply G'had, you de man.

Maybe EU directive 91/440 makes it difficult to renationalise railways?
