So a US company moving HQ to Switzerland is them taking over our jobs.
From a US company, not a British one.
So that's a service type industry I take it? More of admin roles etc. Not manufacturing.
See I have a big problem with the way the UK now relies on banking, insurance, financial services etc.
We used to be the biggest industrial nation on earth, hell we started the industrial age. Now we're importing skills from France to build us some power stations.
We built the first commercial passenger jet, and in collaboration with the French, built the only successful supersonic passenger aircraft. Concorde. Yet today we buy from the US and France.
We once exported our skills and goods around the world, now we take a back seat and see what crumbs some faceless non elected bureaucrats throw us.
The skill level in the UK today is very poor.
Most industries are screaming out for skilled workers. There are very few apprenticeships to be had for the young, and those being done are a shadow of the ones that we did.
Our industrial nation is grinding to a halt, not through lack of work but lack of skills.
The government is now messing with the education system again we see. Its already a mess, and about to get a whole lot worse.
The only ones getting richer are politicians and bankers. A lot richer.
I think the government are bricking it. If we do vote out, it will cost a lot of them and their financial institution chums lots.
Yes this will have some backlash further down the food chain, however people will still need the basics. Food will need delivering, lorries will need mending etc, and life will go on.
If Tarquin can't afford his new Bentley, I really don't give a stuff.
Dont get me wrong, the British public can also share in our downfall. Sale of our own domestic products has always taken a beating at home.
Both the car and motorcycle industries are almost extinct due to the British consumer buying foreign vehicles over our own. But then if we were able to apply import duty, I think the number would have dropped significantly.
So back to your point. No its not one of our jobs. Its an imported one for a foreign company that will be sending profits out of the UK and being a further burden in the long run.
