Originally posted by darmstadt View PostEh? Chrysler, Ford, and Vauxhall weren't competitors? And then the slow influx of foreign car manufacturers from the mid-70's? Or was your old man a dedicated Allegro fan?
If they had been a private enterprise they would have adapted or died.

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostLooking at British Leyland, the management wrecked the company far more than the unions. The Italian Job found they were most unhelful. The professionals were forced to turn to Ford.
The issue was alot of hangers on (then called management) doing nothing except sponging.
Now we call them recruitment agents. They can't even be bothered to look after their kids when they go on holiday thus exposing them to celebrities.....

Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostThatcher freed up industry from the shackles of Union and government control. The UK was virtually a communist country on the edge of bankruptcy. Companies were forced to compete in markets as opposed to being government run monopolies. The drivers of the contractor boom were the banks and the energy companies who were forced to invest in technology in order to compete in what were to become global markets.
I am surprised I need to explain this to you.

BBC News - Butler-Sloss: I won't quit as head of abuse inquiry
But Labour's Simon Danczuk said her position was tainted because her late brother, Sir Michael Havers, was Attorney General in the 1980s.
I will send an email to him later. A politician who will stand up for what is right - what a star.

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostShe's the sister of Thatcher's Attorney General, it seems. I think we all know how I feel about that gang of thugs.
So which should I be more concerned about when considering her fitness for the job: her brother's activities, or her husband's?
Or are we now allowed to judge a woman on her own merits, given that it's 2014 and they're allowed to vote and own property and all kinds of tulip like that?

They should have appointed a sitting judge who can use legal powers to call up witnesses but nope...
