German owned, German subsidised. Why subsidise The banks collapse would have been more dangerou Thought government subsidised industry wasn't allowed in Europe? Well if it is, why make stuff here, that could still be cheaper if imported? My father in law grew up, lived in and worked in a mining village. Slowing production through the week to get overtime on double money....... I'm no Thatcher fan, but who ruined coal/steel and car production?
