The fact remains that until the middle of this year JLR was a profitable business.
So it was far from a failing business. The current economic climate has hurt it, and like banks, a lot of people rely on JLR!Comment

So it was far from a failing business. The current economic climate has hurt it, and like banks, a lot of people rely on JLR!Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

The problem is people with idea's and perceptions deeply rooted in the past. JLR is no different from any other european car company at the moment - it is a different problem to that affecting the US.
The swedes bailed out Volvo and Saab (who are owned by the failing big 3!), to the tune of £2.3bn earlier this year. No predictions of doom there though! (linky)
