On the contrary. In a former incarnation, he was probably one of those who did lobby govt in his own interests and more generally, that of the rotten crony capitalist system.
You need to give this some serious thought.
Globalism is a race to the bottom. Bottom of what? It's all about getting things done for the cheapest price. No it is not. It is about locating near either your market ie customer, or input source; Land or Labour or Technology. That's why US is the best place for technology start ups. Not because they are cheap but because technology is most advanced with skilled labour.
On the other hand Nissan another multinational (globalisation +ve in this case as it is inward to the UK located in the UK. After BL wound down, we had the skilled labour looking for work, as well as desperate time meant they got inducements from Government. Also to overcome EU requirements about certin % of value added production being made in an EU member state. Hence, they located in the Midlands.
No bottoms here mate. Just business decisions to be made. Ford has decided to make small cars in Mexico. DT didn't stop Ford plant from closing as it was never going to close. Small cars not in demand in the US and cheaper to produce in Mexico. So get your manufacturing nearer your market and produce cheaper.
You may see one bottom if you are referring to lower cost of production. However, if US forced to produce in US and costs 45% higher it means you'll lose global market share and will not do well in export markets. Just business decisions.
Destroying the middle and ensuring that more people end up at the bottom. A place where it becomes ever more difficult to escape from. While all this has been going on, the fat cats aided and abetted by govt just carry on getting richer.Agree with you here. Always said we should have more equitable distribution of wealth and have been very much against the fat cats.
Your answer so far is. Oh we need to stay part of the EU, change is no good, wer'e all doomed, what about my rights, oh my pension, nothing will work without mass uncontrolled unskilled immigration, the list goes on and on !
EU is the largest GDP trading block just outside our door adn we have full access. Why would anyone want to step away when we are doing so well. Yes control and tighten borders, send back illegals and enforce distinction between travel, student and work visas but talk of hard brexit etc going against strong preference of CBI and City of London is a bad idea.
Change is good. We are not all doomed, just the City of London and the Northern regions of the UK, airbuis producers, satellites and University funding. I know Theresa May's promised 2bn but that remains to be seen and there was not much detail on composition of where that money will be targeted. ie Defence, which has no consumer benefit.
Apparently 30-40% of the 100,000 people working in rail are foreign. To build HS2 it is envisaged we need 10,000 engineers. UK is very short on these skills and quite a few with technology bias. Train internally or import? Make your call.
Seriously, you need to get a grip !
