Approaching the Jaguar Land Rover assembly works in Castle Bromwich, the eye is drawn to a 16 metre-high sculpture commemorating the wartime production of Spitfires. In the summer of 1940, this was the industrial site where the fighter planes which won the Battle of Britain were built. A couple of hundred yards down from “Spitfire Island”, a source of 21st-century manufacturing pride is on display.
You mean foreign industry in UK

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
