Cunard's 175th Anniversary. Celebrate, or hold a wake?

Hey everyone; Cunard is to hold its 175th Anniversary and we've all got to jump up and down with excitement, whoop whoop!! The heritage of this great 'British' company is to be celebrated and school children are to be advised as to how proud they must be.
I'm all for the teaching of history but lets not conveniently leave out recent history.

Facts:
Cunard is now owned by the Carnival Corporation of the USA. What happened was straightforward. The US giant placed before British management and shareholders a trough brimming over with dollars and the slavering pigs in question couldn't contain their drooling and dived in. Result; Heritage betrayed and this vital piece of our commercial sovereignty prostituted. In 1982 Thatcher requisitioned Cunard ships to transport British soldiers to the Falklands; this could never happen again because the asset is no longer sovereign and Carnival would say 'on yer bike' if pleaded with by todays politicians.

No British built ships are in the Cunard fleet and the country is now incapable of constructing such a high value/high skill product. With no orders to fulfill the skills have simply withered away through lack of employment.

British crews sacked decades ago in favour of cheap labour, a minimum number of Brits are employed for window dressing purposes. A career in the Merchant Navy once so commonplace is now a rarity.

Cunard re-registered the fleet to Bermuda supposedly so as to be able to conduct weddings onboard, nothing to be with tax of course; heaven forbid folks should suspect such a motivation!!

Foreign owned, foreign flagged, foreign built, foreign crewed, what heritage is it exactly we're supposed to be celebrating? A broken and betrayed heritage and that's a fact. Carnival bought Cunard for the highly desirable and profitable trading name and that is all. Lets not pop over to Southampton with our Chinese made plastic Union Flags and bunting because no celebration is warranted. A wake would be more appropriate. Let us indeed teach our children history; RECENT HISTORY.
