Originally posted by Rudi Hedman Why would a foreign company move their production here? Now after globalisation living costs are higher here, so is wage demand. Invest in renewables, it's getting cheaper and if it makes us a lot more energy self efficient, it's got to be worth it in the long term. A shame all governments seem to lack a long term view.

Originally posted by Eden Eagle I would disagree with the view that British Cars were ugly - particularly at the start of the decade - E-type, Lotus Elan, TR6, MGB, original mini etc. The issues at BL were a combination of poor management, poor labour relations, brands competing with each other (Triumph & MG) with little co-operation between them, lack of investment and poor build quality. I own a 1972 MGB so I am a tad biased! Arguably those are the cars that kind of survived the death of the British Car industry - The cars with panache and style (and yeah a Mini has style and panache in spades as a small cheap car).

Originally posted by Jimenez They are better off starting their own businesses with their redundancy money. Possibly the best opportunity a lot of them will ever have. What as? their trade is dead and the area they live in has just seem massive layoffs. The options for a new business opportunity are pretty slim. Its not like when I got made redundant - I could start my own business, using the skills from the job I had. Those skills these people have, relate to an industry that is now dead.
