Plus, despite being in manufacturing I don't think subsidies are good!! I do think we should have more manufacturing, but by making it more competitive, not subsidized!
Top marks to JC!
yes and no, with such cheap labour, it is hard for UK firms to compete against Asian firms, so even if you are giving the companies a Tax loophole so they can have lower overheads, to cheap land or rates, so the companies can be competitive. I worked in military aerospace for years, and the government sold us down the swanny, it employed thousands to maintain the COUNTRY's fleet of aircraft, and at a good price too, but that wasn't enough, always looking to save money, but happy to put billions into the NHS to watch it squandered.
