I did my thesis in 1967(?) about the British Motor Industry and the challenge from other countries veihicle industries eg Japan etc.
I read some of it recently, it should have started with Once Upon A Time………totally fairy story. ………conclusion utter boll***s. . But always been
interested in the industry .

PS Luddite - Richard Murphy on LBC at 8.10 am this morning and I agreed with 99% of everything he said about RR ( not the car) but the chancellor. She has got it all wrong . Totally out of her depth etc etc.
M.M, as for the British/European/American, car industry, it seems likely to be comparable with that which is recorded in history relative to the British m/cycle industry... I once had a book that from a very dull memory listed as many as 800 manufacturers of m/cycles in Britain... I suspect most were working in sheds, much as it seems Morgan may have been for a while..?
I tend to listen to Richard Murphy most mornings as I am having my tea and toast. In general I find that which he preaches fits more with my general attempts to be reasonably fair minded while seeking to contemplate a possible non-partisan and supposedly ideal outcome for the general populace..?
It seems such are the vagaries of human nature that no one political system will ever provide that which the majority might consider to be reasonably fair overall... Shrug..! It is what it is, and seems to be somewhat cyclic, driven by the all important moneygoround, as it seems human history records...?
Though the bottom line for me is that those skilled enough to seemingly win most of their arguments, are often driven by their own selfish ideals and rarely for the common good.. Shrug.
As for what to believe in... It seems to be just a case of take your pick, make one`s arguments, divide and conquer, and hope you are on the winning side...at least for a while...?
