Yeah, right. It's got nothing to do with the fact the average worker

in
China gets paid 67p a day! Are you volunteering to take on that kind

of
wage to restore the manufacturing base of the UK?


France, germany, italy etc sitll have viable large scale car
manufacturers,
train builders etc. Hmm , wonder why that is. Could it be the workers
actually got on with doing their job instead of farting about on a
picket
line?


No, it's because they have massive (and usually illegal) state subsidy. Are
you advocating this or denying this? British Leyland (Rover) never went
bankrupt whilst it was being banked by the government (Of course, the
government almost did).
