That's why I hate the way news items of 'X company is moving manufacturing to Poland' are presented as if that was a terrible thing; a slight to British people; and something the government should interfere in to stop. The real issue is that 1hr of unskilled labour costs tens of times more in the UK than abroad. Due to historical reasons, better workers' rights/protections here, and the high cost of goods. I'd like to see that equalise as the rest of the world adopts (roughly) our laws and rights. |
You're getting ahead of me.
Now, part of the thing making the UK a suboptimal environment would be taxes, yes?
