    It really is scandalous what Tata are doing to UK industry. Steel mills being closed and Jaguar production being shifted to China.

      Given that we write or test or project manager computer software to automate tasks and remove the need for manual intervention in processes we are hardly in a position to complain when other people do the same.

      The simple fact is that would is becoming more and more automated and less and less manual labour is required.

          Shifting manufacturing to jaguars largest market is an entirely sensible idea. Just as Nissan set up a manufacturing plant in the North east. has it occurred to you that demand for Steel has fallen and maybe this is the reason for closing steel plants?

            I will not buy anything owned by Tata in principle .

                Hardly scandalous, is it? Do you suggest they keep unprofitable plants open?

                  But it leads to more chavs in the UK.

                  The only solution I can think of is trade barriers. Which I am against. But you seem to be in favour of.

                  Got any better solutions?

                    This does not make sense ! If so the price should be at 20% of what is currently asked.
                    And why vote of non confidence towards Indian manufacturing outlets ?
                    If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.
