    This is exactly the problem.

      ...along with selling off things like the national grid to Qatar.

      The EU/Foreigners are not the reason why things are not made/built in Britain by British people.
      1. Our education system is failing to develop people with a variety of talents. Not everyone is theoretical, many people are practical, but the practical side of education hardly exists.
      2. "Foreign Investment" is touted as a really good thing. That's because it doesn't cost the government anything, although it will be paid back for years.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Pension funds are looking for things to invest in, so we should use that and build what we need.

        Wind and tide renewables.

          Young people have no incentive. Tuition fees. High housing costs.

            We need lots of coal fired power stations. While the nuclear ones are built.

              Vote Corbyn then
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Japan’s Top 10 Exports

                  Is it really a good idea to have a great trade deal with a country who pretty much make the same tulip as you?

                  Will the Germans really all start buying Japanese cars?

                  Or the french?

                  Sometimes I wonder if any of you fu<kwits have a brain - just because you have a trade deal it does not mean it will add value.

                      The EU accepted any terms just to attempt to get one over on the UK. The hatred of anyone who attempts to leave outweighs all else. Its hotel california.
