So much for 'just in time.'

We seriously need to be giving this work to the UK manufacturing industry, and in all the questions asking why that's not happening, I've not heard one response to justify the reason not to. It just goes to show once again, no lessons are being learned.

We need where possible to stop giving work to China & Turkey, that's no disrespect to those countries, but we've got a labour force and industry crying out to do this work. What's the problem, extra cost, suck it up, print money, do whatever you have to do! No raw material, well think outside the box, create something we do have the raw material for.

There is no excuse. We have shops full of the raw material. No one is buying all these throwaway items of clothing so turn them into something useful

Exactly. Whatever you create gown wise, you can just use whatever is available, as I mentioned yesterday, wipe down or washable materials, and as someone replied, something is better than nothing.

Be interesting to see who front's todays briefing because the media are going to have a field day.

Aren’t the likes of Burberry and Barbour doing this already?

Yes they are, but other businesses are crying out for the work to. Clearly B&B can't cope with it all, so why we giving the work to Turkey?

No idea but there is an unknown reason behind it as the stool pigeons refuse to answer the question at the daily briefing. Maybe it’s simply because it’s cheaper.

It's the only logical reason I can think, we've got to stop with this mentality. China ripped the arse out of our steel industry, like they have with many other things. We've got to start bringing this work back to our shores. Turkey ffs, the home of fake designer.

Who knew he was lazy. No one called that at all. Stick the Chancellor in charge. He comes across like he gives a **** and is competent. Leave Johnson to finish his book and **** his latest bint.

He comes across well and won a lot of people over with the promised help for businesses. How much of it has actually come to fruition?

He’d still be the one I’d reluctantly want to win a hypothetical leadership bid tomorrow.

Conspiracy theories are mostly bollocks imo. But there's no doubt that the entire Republican Party (the party of Abe Lincoln btw) is conspiring to ignore the very obvious elephant in the room at the Whithouse.

Did you say UK manufacturing industry? Yeah, alright. Maybe Dyson can help.

No conspiracy whatsoever dude, Its all out there for everyone to see.

Personally I don't much like the word conspiracy because it clouds people's judgements and many will give up on true stories because they come somehow under the title conspiracy where they then get jumbled up a haystack of bullshit and the incredibly ridiculous.

Only one's personal gut feeling can sort out the fake from the truth.

I'm not sure your point?

From what was stated at yesterdays briefing there is small to medium businesses crying out for this work, that had been given to Turkey.

Can the uk expect to be anywhere near competitive and maintain standards, pay and working conditions? Also have to consider the additional cost of having to ship in a lot of the raw materials.

My point is, UK manufacturing is on it’s arse. As a direct result of several decades of right wing industrial policy.

Didn’t someone mention Burberry? How many of their garments are manufactured in the UK?
