Cameron & Co attracting business during Olympics

On the news just now. Showing how they have set up an 'Embassy' to promote UK as a business destination.

Parked outside, promoting UK business brands, are a new Jaguar and a Landrover.

Are these British businesses any more? I thought JLR was a wholly owned subsidiary of TATA?

You could apply that to most car manufacturers - who owns Ford, GM, Mercedes etc. How do you define the nationality of a company - where they design and build or the country the majority of the shareholders live?

Well, I would suggest a company that was not doing too well for its previous owners (Ford, maybe?) and rescued by an Indian company isn't really a British company. It is, undoubtedly a British brand - and a very good pair of brands they are.
