Any reasonable Adult will question the government
There used to be a time when people supported British Industry, as with anything else commercial this is led by demand.
"If you want to help british industry, encourage foreign companies to embrace the quality skills of British labour; as British industry seems too incompetent... hardly the fault of the government or customer spending habbits"
This is equally as sad, why should we be the grease monkeys? I would rather the profits stayed in the UK, a directly benefited our economy.
"of course i feel sorry for those people who will loose their jobs and those who will also feel the fallout from this, but its not over till the fat lady sings as they say, and even if it is, i'm sure they'll find employment in similar industry..."
A little naive dont you think? the whole area is supported by production at longbridge, think theres 20,000 spare jobs freely available??
My problem with government is that they dont support british industry the same way that the rest of Europe supports their industry. This has been in steady decline over the last few decades.
The management of Rover has been terrible - If Rover had'nt of sold out (again) and produced the MINI think they'd have a problem
