I reckon we're on the same page but as a closing comment .... Jaguar were owned by Ford USA, Jaguar & Land Rover are now both owned by TATA ( India, since 2008   )  so you can guess where all the profits are going, certainly not into the Treasury's coffers, albeit they are both doing well they are 'assembled' in the UK, they are not technically UK companies under British ownership, same goes for SCC steel at Redcar ( Indonesia ) TATA own Lackenby steel plant... China has a huge stake in Northumbrian Water.. etc. etc.

Napoleon was correct in his comment during the peninsular wars that England was nothing but a nation of dog lovers & shopkeepers... & so it comes to pass... all thanks to politicians & the need for a quick buck.

... Onward, onward into the valley of death rode the 600 UK, Guns Bankers to the left, guns. Bankers to the right, into the mouths of cannon shareholders ahead rode the gallant 600. UK. Not exactly verbatim but I like the analogy from my point of view.. thinking.

Merry Xmas to all cake beer gift
