May and Corbyn frequently talk about protecting British jobs. Yet over the years parties of all persuasions have overseen the destruction of real jobs. Many firms have been shut-down. British industry is at its weakest. We have lost big employers such as GEC, AEI, English Electric, Marconi, Alfred Herbert, Courtaulds, Massey Fergusson, many car makers and literally hundreds of others (with names which younger people probably don't remember). We have gone from a large manufacturing economy, competing with the likes of Germany and Japan, to one where manufacturing is only 25% of the total in the country. The other 75% is in service industries where jobs can be taken away much more easily. That is the situation which successive Governments have put us in. A NO DEAL BREXIT, WILL FORCE THE GOVERNMENT, EMPLOYERS, THE CITY, AND OURSELVES TO CHANGE TACK.
So what have you got to say about this Mrs May and Mr Corbyn!!!!
