Re: Don't Break Tradition

We have been doing this for years because a toxic mix of short term gains for traders, investors and board members combined with clueless governments just keep saying yet.

The list of companies that should never have been sold to foreign organisations is endless and makes pitiful reading. The outlook is pretty much that people would sell the grandmother to turn into soap if it meant a few extra £££££.

It is an endemic cultural problem that will not go away unless a political iron fist comes down and states that Britain is not for sale.
