Govt isn't driving incentivised job creation that might be less competitive cause business only wants to maxmise profits. Would a german or French contract for infrastructure development go outside those countries? Never.

Need to start gyming a bit for the hols.

It's not about labour costs, it's about profit margins. Apple might have a 30% smaller profit margin if they manufactured in California, but by god they would win over a whole new segement of customer loyalty. Their profits are primarily based around the numbers they shift anyway. I personally believe that two Apple items side by side on a shelf (one made in California and the other in China) and the home made one costing 20-30% more, the home made one would give the other a run for its money. The Germans look for things made in Germany and don't mind paying a premium for their goods as they know the quality is better and that they will certainly last longer. Your Taxi is made in England is it not??

At the end of the day THATCHER was just a spokesperson and a puppet for her right wing capitalist backers. She wasn't a visionary, very few are. Visionaries are killed at birth these days.

We probably haven't got the attention to detail tbf.

I'm all for import taxing anything made outside the EU. And there was a period when this was being considered, TILL THEY FOUND OUT THE LEVEL OF INVESTMENT OF OUR OWN COMPANIES ABROAD. The best we can hope for now is Armageddon.

Germany is a classic example where a lot of quality and pricey products are made at home and companies continue to pay fair wages AND MAKE A PROFIT.

Labour was shifted abroad in the 80's when multinationals were making huge profits. THAT is when labour costs became AN ISSUE. Companies like APPLE that make huge profits AND use cheap labour abroad should be nuked.

Historically no country has ever beaten a religion. The irony here of course is that the bill of rights was cooked up by quasi-religious nutcases.

Attorney Steve Dowds, who tracks cases like the Newburgh Four, argues the US government is systematically employing preemptive prosecution: "They are taking some down and out vulnerable individuals and not only planting the ideology of jihad on them, giving them all the things they need, all of the material. They are setting up the plan, giving them all the research and then grabbing them and claiming these were homegrown terrorists. It is just a fiction."

Summer is coming and we're all a bit restless....

Her infuence echoed through two murky decades in British politics, reagardless of age everyone on here has felt it in some form or other.

Started with the Greeks rasta.

Where does perception end and reality begin?

Said it weeks ago.

The sim don't come cheap bro.

He's after me.

OOoooOOO!! You're quite the empiricist!

I disagree. The simulation would have a back up.

Here's the first reply from my conspiracy board............ Re: Simulation. "Here, let us see if we can piss off godzilla. I would posit that, first, while the seeming physical reality is contained within another, superceding reality, which is in turn superceded by another, and so on, this structure is organic and natural, while mysterious in it's origin and destination. I would posit, secondly, that perhaps as a sort of infection, some oth the more localized portions are intersected with an inorganic conscious structure, that would endeavor to fool us into mistaking it's manifestations/emanations into the local reality for the underlying structure itself. This thought roughly corresponds to what is on one hand ideas pointing to an advanced AI, and on the other hand the ideas presented in Gnostic teachings, Archons, etc..."

Yeah read it. Some really strange and funny goings on. The scary thing is that the elites (for want of a better word) really believe in some wierd shit. You couldn't make it up.

OOoooOO! Lah di dah!
