Yes the tories destroyed manufacturing,yes the labour party sold out its own workiers party politics.

Here's a view for you. If India are buying fighters off the French, why are we sending them millions of tax payers cash when we have plenty living in poverty in our own country?

Very good point indeed given that India is one of the fastest growing World economies---creating vast wealth and churning out numerous amounts of Graduates---Millionaires galore, Tata comes too mind = Steel = Landrover and Indian Motor Cars by the Millions...

We need to feed our own needy first do we not ?...

We do and there are plenty to be fed at home which is a disgrace in a modern world.

India I know has more and there are many living in absolute depravity but FFS if they can buy fighters, invest in a space programme they can build public infrastructures like sewers and bring their own people clean water without our help. I just don't get it.
 
They can build there own Country up no probs---they managed to take all our Manufacturing of Scaffold Component Parts and Tube no bother eh---and look at the feckin quality, feckin 90 z are disintegrating in yer hand before you get them on a feckin tube LOL...
 
What do we pay for a double, around £1 or thereby. How much would you guesstimate the equivalent would cost us to be made in Britain? Forget quality just price.
 
More than a pound i'd say,but other countrys have tax concessions to counter this,thus ensuring the home market can compete with cheap imports,but can you see our tax grabbing b*stards doing this,honestly,it's not rocket science ffs:(

From what little I know it's more about labour costs and conditions, there may well be tax concessions but we do that as well to try and attract jobs and found to our cost that a lot use up any and all grants available before shipping out lock stock and barrel to the next unsuspecting country desperate to attract jobs to their shores.

I may be wrong, I quite often am but I feel we have to accept the world has changed and we need to find a place in it if we want to be the Kings of anything once more.

As usual, no answers from Aom but I do know things are tough and without change we are heading for stormy waters again.
 
tax breaks for foreign investment!!
i remember working on the construction of a huyundai factory in dunfermline about 15 years ago,this was largely funded with government grants.
all the plant right down to floor tiles came from south korea.
then when the tiger economys hit a recession they pulled out and never even finnished the buiilding,and you guessed it the plant equipment all went home.
that massive buildiong still lies empty :mad:

Which is the most annoying thing about it, will we ever learn? Have our wages and expenses become so high we are no longer cost effective and now doomed to be as the Germans noted a nation of shopkeepers once again?

Not wishing to be pedantic aom but it was actually Napoleon (French) who said we were a nation of shopkeepers.
Obviously our shop assistants gave him a shock at Trafalgar and Waterloo lol
 
haha, told you I was only a thick scaff.:D
 
You don't have too.:embarrest:

we need to expand ou industrial manufacturing base to help pull us out of recession,and stave off any future recession was bleated by the billionaire osbourne if im correct.
then why i ask has daewoo in korea been given the contract to build 4 new tankers at a cost of £452 million,to us the great british tax payer.
this is apparently the best deal for the british tax payer.
the thousands of reasonably well payed shipyard workers who would have all payed taxes on any wages,and also the fact that the moneys earned by said workers would be spent in the GB obviously doesnt come into the equation.
ive just got over the new stell contracts for ther new forth bridge being given to poland spain and someother shiithole we are probably baqilling out soon. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

feck knows what happened there but im pissed off with this backward country that shits on its own all the time

The British Government shiiting on its own...? = No change there then.
Whos surprised? Im not. Seems that its more 'financially' beneficial for the Politicians to look after every other Tom, Diick and Harry, then their own people.

Well with the backhanders they MUST be getting, they are never going look after us.
 
the great british shopkeeper showed napoleon with a wee bit of help from the prussians (germans).
I think we should have stuck with them instead of sideing with the french,look how much gratitude they have shown us for bailling them out twice.
 
I blame that Austian carnt adolph for the state of everything. He got millions of Europes finest young working men to bayonet each other,leaving countries with a shortage of manpower. Which meant going to the colonies to recruit labour.to pick up the pieces. Imo,europe would have stayed the same if the carnt didnt have a master plan.
 
touche freddy. the 2 world wars cost europe millions of its young men and women and yes cheap foreign workers did come to work and never went back
ps,do you ever sleep ive got an excuse im on nights
