observer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Don't think Bliar repealed any of the Thatcher legislation, in fact he was proud to boast that he wouldn't raise super-tax, which she'd reduced from 80% to 60% to 40% - and they wonder why the wealth gap got bigger.

Lt Kije Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 If you look at your posts Asp you used Corus as an example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 But what does the nationality of the owner of Corus have to do with anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Kije Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Corus on Teeside for example............oops no that was Labour last year that allowed one of their backers to close the plant down and move all the orders to a new plant in India  British Steel privatised in 1988 who was in power  British Steel becomes Corus after a Dutch company bought it out, who changed the rules to make it easier to buy out British companies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The people who lost their jobs, with Gordon's blessing, weren't Dutch were they LtKije? No they were locals. But you go ahead and blame Maggie 20 years on. Unbelievable really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Gordons blessing He could not have stopped it if he had wanted to, It costs less to employ some one in India than it does in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
