so sad to see those cretins warming their hands over the oil drums
digging
not only their own career graves and that of their children, but the
whole british
car industry. The same could be said for various other blue collar
industries
in britain too.

You've obviously not been to Italy recently. Fiat is closing down a
plant in Sicily and they've just had *another* general strike. The
part of Italy I go to has a big Breda rail factory as well which seems
to be perpetually under threat...
