Jaguar in line for taxpayer bail-out

Jaguar in line for taxpayer bail-out.

Ministers and executives from the car firm are now in daily contact as they attempt to agree some form of state assistance for the Indian-owned firm.

yes, I know it's British jobs at stake, but WTF should the UK bail out an Indian firm when India have been aggressively competing against us for so long?

Surely ownership carries some responsibility when hard times come?

[PM-Junkie]

We are subsidising their space programme, so why not?

We are subsidising their space programme, so why not?

Why not just f**k building big expensive bad taste cars that no-one can afford and refit the factories to join in with the Indian space program?

[minestrone]

Let them collapse, then part fund someone in the UK to buy the factory as a going concern, it will cost the same and the place will be UK owned again.

This country is totally buggered with these nutters in charge.

There was unconfirmed rumours this morning that gordon brown is going to spend the afternoon standing on top of the houses of parliament throwing bundles of tenners to the masses below. Apparently he intends to do this until we start spending again.

[BrilloPad]

It should be allowed to go to the wall.
