You mean foreign industry in UK

What industry?

If lessons had been learned from this we would invest in the people rather than industry.

Ask again after covid

I think the UK should take a gap year.

Yep. Keep it local, pay what it’s worth not as little as you can get away with, everyone’s a winner.

After every downturn in the financial markets it’s the same old tune, it’s the cry of bring back manufacturing and industry. The Brits are too lazy for this kind of work, get the useless facist Brits shipped to Africa and bring in the foreigners who know what a days work is.

No and unfortunately the state has to invest in R&D because the private sector won't

When will After Covid be I wonder?

Yes, duh.

He's gone

The Covid effects haven’t even started yet. The US economy is going to crash and burn and tank the global economy this fall. Economic free fall as the disease ravages the world.

I don’t know
