Dead right. Part of the trouble is that the British public just cannot understand the arguments. I have always, throughout my whole life, had various Land-Rover products - built in England - as my car, but hardly any of my friends see the implications of buying foreign. On a tv programme the other day about Dagenham, it was mentioned that every Ford car is now imported, so if 'industry' doesn't make British, it is damned hard for the rest of us to buy British.
