    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...

    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...
