cinsky replies: I'm sure the UK manufacturing industry wasn't dragged to China like West Indian slaves to Europe in days of yor. The UK manufacturing industry is in China because it is more efficient, cheaper and BETTER than the UK.
Why, pray tell, should government be obliged to interfer?

Screaming Lord Sutch replies: This is the price you pay for living in a developed country. We are no longer an agricultural economy. The manufacturing industry in the UK is also in decline because we are moving from a manufacturing economy to a tertiary economy.
It's the natural step for us to evolve and progress. It shows we are not stagnant!

Boojam replies: I'm not an anti-globaliser myself, but anti-globalisation (including the ability of countries to protect their industries) was a very much talked about political issue a few years ago. At the time one got the impression that mainstream politicians/media and genera public weren't much interested in the topic.
