If that was just propoganda then you can't also claim it was down to Liam Foxe's incompetence. You can't have it both ways.

You need to show a link or evidence to back up your claim that Fox has alienated many, many countries.

That is just hyperbole.

Hi

It was actually just a typo, my mistake.

As for the rest of it

Fox's Technical Rectification is also causing issues with Japan, Canada and South Korea.

It is not good just to tell potential trade partners what we are going to do, much better to ask them first.

Just start a manufacturing business with no capital and no experience? Easy peasy.

It's not an ordinary start up business we are discussing but a manufacturing business large enough to revive our manf sector and efficient enough to compete in the global arena. That requires significant capital and expertise. The original industrialists were often already rich.

Setting up small businesses is all well and good but they take years to grow to the scale we require. Even Dyson moved manufacturing abroad. Why?

Re: Oh Dear!!! - Brexit not going so well

My late best friend started a business in the 80s he saw badly made things coming in from China into the factory he worked in, in his free time he started small making in his garage the items. When he got that going he approached his boss and offered to supply, looking at the quality and that he knew him they agreed a trade. It was two years before he left his job, three before he employed anyone else. Before he died in 2003 he was running three factories supplying many many contracts, employing over three hundred people.

It cost him time and a key was he was working so he could fund the start up hisself. Now I'm pretty sure that's not an uncommon way to start. You don't start with three hundred employees in several places, you start in your garage alone.

Yes and it takes years for one or two people to build up into even one factory, that's if the demand and trading conditions exist. The tech and marketing start ups we have seen are far easier to get off the ground in one or two years. But manufacturing requires large capital investment and time.
