    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%.
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      Reading the BBC report on the possible sale of Jaguar and Land Rover to Indian companies it sounds perfect.

      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.

                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.

                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
