    The reason the jobs went overseas Nora was much to do with the communistic unions. I have been through picket lines. The cowards that stand outside and harangue people who want to work are cowards, pure and simple. The capitalists moved their businesses overseas rather than stand up to the unions. They took the easy option and governments allowed it to happen. Any re-industrialisation must include protection for business against unions. I am a manufacturer and I am responsible for a lot of local jobs. No union is going to tell me how to run my business. But my/our problem is that we have no youngsters coming into engineering. If I found one that had maths skills and a practical mind I would take him on tomorrow and train him. Our schools have failed our children and industry is the worse for it. So what's the answer Nora? You seem to know it all. Please share your wisdom with these experts so that Britain can get back on track again.
    Again Sdapeze you contradict yourself.
    You see British Trade unions as 'Communistic Cowards'.

    It's a known fact that the trade union movement in Germany, and France, are twice as militant as our British counterparts.

    'Yet', BMW, AUDI, VOLKSWAGEN are still earning billions for the German economy.

    RENAULT, CITROEN, PERGEOT, still giving employment, and boostering the French economy.

    We no longer have any British motor industry..Gone are Austin, Morris, Hillman, Riley, BSA, Standard, Triumph, etc.

    Woods of Colchester, Lathe Co, Paxmans, Betts etc, ect were all practically free of union problems. 'Yet' sold off by people with your brand of ' blinkered vision.."

Public views wanted at experts' finance conference

THE public are invited to give their views on the global financial crisis at an international conference.

The fourth Critical Finance Studies Conference is being held at Essex University ’s Wivenhoe campus between August 15-17.

Bringing together academics from around the globe, the conference hopes to look at ethical financial reforms which could lead to the end of the boom or bust economy.

It is the first time the non-experts have been invited and it is hoped the two-hour open session, which starts at 3.30pm on Thursday August 17, will spark debate between academics, financiers and the general public.

Anyone interested in going should visit the conference website choosing the ‘CFS Panel and Reception’ option. The cost is £10 including a drinks reception afterwards.
