Our problems began with the mistaken belief that the UK would lead the developed economies into something called the “post-industrial society”.

Important view from Sir John Rose, CEO of Rolls Royce back in April. I found the article quite informative.

Now I havent got all lovey-dovey with the employers but I know New Labour has and if I were them I would pay careful heed to the words of this man and his view about the future of manufacturing.

The loss of 1million jobs in manufacturing since Labour come to power is a travesty but when someone who should be considered a government friend is being critical, said government should be considering carefully their choice of friends they should be listening too.
