Manufacturing in Britain
Discussion
Britain's industry has been deliberately ruined. This has resulted in not only a loss of jobs, highly skilled and paid jobs at that, but it is also a humiliation for a great country and people like ours not to make anything.
As a bare minimum we should design and build our own ships, trains, aeroplanes, trucks, etc., etc., etc. We are not even doing this.
We are the direct descendants of the most intelligent, inventive people possible imaginable. With our people, under the right leadership, we could do amazing things again, things we could all be happy and proud of.
There was a golden opportuninty recently to design and build some high speed trains for Britain's east coast mainline here in Britain, and thereby restore some pride and happiness into our people, to replace our excellent, designed and built in Britain 125s and 225s. Instead the contract to design and build trains for Britain was given to Japan, a country who would never let a foreign country build its trains. This is a humiliation.
It's the same story in all areas. Take shipbuilding for example. As a bare minimum every single Royal Navy ship should be designed and built in a British shipyard. Recently, a contract to build 4 Royal Navy tankers went to Korea.
And every now and then our "leader" will appear on television and say something like "well, what can we do to help manufacturing in Britain?".
We have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and start standing proudly as a people and country again. Once we do that anything is possible.
