No pride left

Nothing left from what it was once the largest car producer in Europe. We couldn't even save MG Rover for £ 100m and gave it to the chinks - now the spots want to buy Jaguar and LandRover. Look no further than Sarkozy in France or Merkel in Germany or even Bush in USA that are fighting to keep the indigenous companies - all right wing pro-marketeers. There is no such thing as 'free' market.

Everyone wins. India gain modern car technology, the jobs in the UK actually increase and we all live happily ever after.

Somehow, I reckon the true outcome will be rather different.

Doomed.

Quit moaning tis a free market. We have only ourselves to blame for our short-sighted policy as a country

Is globalisation a one way street?

However, an Indian assembly plant for cars imported as kits would make sense if the cars were to be sold in the domestic market, which is shielded by import duties totalling 122%.
