| Re. Martin Weaver: "Never mind 'buy British' everything these days is owned by another country - the result of Thatcher et al selling off everything." As it happens, much of what she privatised was sold to the British public in the form of shares (remember "Tell Sid" and all that?). And in any case it's almost three decades since Thatcher was P.M. - the rest of us have moved on, even if you haven't. More importantly, the quid pro quo for opening up markets to permit outsiders to invest in Britain (eg the Japanese building a brand new car industry from the bones of bloody awful companies like British Leyland), is that we have in turn bought up overseas companies ourselves: https://realbusiness.co.uk/6-brands-you-didnt-know-were-british-owned/ Anyhow, sorry to collude in dragging this thread waaaaaaaaaaay off-topic, but sometimes something just grinds your gears! |
