Reply to: UK economy doomed - Now we're losing pharma ...

[shaunbhoy]

History now that news, really. Three years ago, everyone I knew was working in pharma, today, I know nobody. I know of nothing happening in the UK pharma industry except redundancies. Very, very, sad and a major policy failure by successive governments. Same story in petrochemicals industry too, sadly. We only have nuclear and defence industries left now and most of the former is foreign owned.

Well when they are paying bonuses to janitors like sg for coming up with dodgy dossiers/stats, there is only one way that can end!

What do your new business partners think of you spending so much time here?
If I were them, I would be VERY hacked off.

Zippy and Bungle don't mind as atw's posts make them look clever.

The plan is to cut costs dramatically, thereby raising profits for a couple of quarters, then take a huge bonus, cash in the options and leg it while you can.

But isn't that what Dodgy calls "wealth creation", the free market and trickle down and all that?

I didn't say I believe in you.
There's a not-so-subtle difference
Larn yerself Henglish as she is spoke, bhoy.

Looks like your post count fallen behind mine. I'll get back to posting on here when your post count exceeds mine.

Laters...

Serious tax breaks if you do Pharma R&D over here.

Which is why, I guess, they're moving over here.

They actually call it 'Medicon Valley'.

I'd say 15-20 minutes per day of my personal time, mostly from home.

I believe you. Many wouldn't mind you, but I do.
lets hope your investors never come here, they'd run for the hills if they realised what an economic illiterate you really are .

[AtW]

How much time have you spent here in the last few months?

Why so few? I read quickly and filter (by ignoring) posted tulip even quicker. A valuable skill I acquired at CUK, that and posting tulip quickly also

[sasguru]

I've spent about 10 minutes on here today.

Unlike you I know how to type and think quickly at the same time.

Big pharma will be fine as long as they can keep inventing up government-backed health scares like the "swine flu pandemic".

Phew, you are safe then?

And these job losses are the brainy R&D ones.

Phew, you are safe then?
