The labour Leader thread...

You are confusing Manufacturing with Assembly.

Assembly is semi-skilled it has to be in the main. The skilled work has been done at the Design Development stage.

A Engineer is not someone who fixes your washing machine.....

(just to clear a welder is bloody skilled at his job, no disrespect intended in my ramblings as semi skilled)

Again, you're mixing up cheap labour for simple assembly with skilled labour. You've cited Apple, we've cited the automotive and aerospace industries ...

Lets not forget we're one of the leading nations in the design and manufcture of satelites and other space related technology.
 
That`s just smart planning :)

Doesn't detract from the fact there is not enough quailfied people to go around :) due to manufacturing being the enemy and its better to be on the X-Factor.
 
So we need to focus on high end manufacturing as part of Government policy which they all say anyway but none actually deliver.

Maybe Corbyn will, and its starts with the skills shortage and thats down to the 3r`s at school and the lack of roll models to make engineering cool again.

That's it's biggest problem, when you try to make everyone rich you end up making everyone equally poor. History tells us that but the left stubbornly refuses to learn that lesson

Because the left fundamentally is idealistic.

Until they understand that their policies are nothing more than theories, they will never get anywhere.

The Tories are the only realistic party.

Yeah, and the right forget what happened in 1649 in England and in 1789 in France.

So is the right, they just have different ideals.

Ditto for the right.

To be pedantic, they are part of Airbus now - EADS has been rebranded and no-longer exists.

Of course - thanks for the correction.

It makes everybody richer so although the poor are still poor, relatively they are more well off.

The poorest in society today are far richer then the poor from 30 or even 20 years ago. It's got to the point where calling them poor is almost a misdemeanour.

The only ones that still need help are the ones caught up in drugs, homelessness and abuse
