Totally agree with SAS, so many of the major companies I have worked at, Blue Circle, Rediffusion, Marconi and plenty I didn't, like ICI, have been taken over by foreign companies, asset stripped and factories closed. Insane.bloggoth

Why, oh fooking why, does the UK insist on national self-immolation in the name of "free markets" and "market forces"?
