bit of a squeeze though eh?

Yes - anyone else in the same box had better shape up and change their views pretty damn sharpish!

Don't know who that is but she definitely looks like she fits into the box you've put her in.

I have even met her . She is a very nice lady but I would not want to cross her. And yes she does fit into my box

You will probably find that they are pretty honest straight forward labour voting working class people who have little respect for the wailing lefty middle classes and their sneering condescending patronage.

I expect like most groups, they have little respect for people not in their group.

Tories couldn't give a tulip, its a dirty blue colour job, there's no large party contributions, there's no directorships, there's nothing in it for them. Now if it was a white collar financial institution in the City, then that would be another question:

More news on this as it seems the Tories couldn't give a toss about workers in Britain: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/david-camerons-well-groomed-rose-6512714 yet are more than happy to loan GBP45m to a foreign company for them to upgrade a factory in Canada: Roman Abramovich gets £45m loan from UK taxpayer - Business Matters and they only need to put 25% of that back into the UK...

A loan is not the same as pouring money into a loss-making industry merely to keep people in jobs, is it?

If the government intervenes this is basically just make-work, not that dissimilar from workfare.

Couldn't they make the loan to improve the factory in the UK rather than to one in Canada, maybe they could produce the same goods here and help British industry? Think of it as investment...

Did the company ask for a loan for the UK plant? Can it be upgraded to be profitable in the same way?
