"...The Prime Minister, David Cameron, said: "The UK is the most popular destination in Europe for Chinese investment with more Chinese investment into the United Kingdom in the last eighteen months than the whole of the last thirty years combined..." Quote copy / pasted from BBC news service.
Trade 'deals' with China worth in the region of fourteen billion pounds have been announced but let us be in no doubt about it, the vital element of 'balance' is entirely absent; this is a sell out by politicians incapable of running a whelk stall. British registered, but under the control of all sorts of foreign stakeholders company 'BP' are to supply LPG to China, whilst the High Speed 2 rail link will submit to Chinese control as will the building of Nuclear Power Stations alongside the French company EDF. Whenever a selling off of the family silver occurs, which is precisely what this 'deal' is, it strikes me that Britain's Commercial Sovereignty is taking yet another hammering resultant with our country's fiscal enslavement. As to why journalists and commentators never question the trashing of this vital element to our sovereignty that has resulted in Britain being under the cosh of foreign business interests? Those in question must either be as unimaginative as our useless politicians, lack courage to speak out, or are in tune with the establishment and intent upon 'business as usual' carrying on uninterrupted. Either way; by not questioning Cameron & Co, our journalists prove themselves to be part of the problem.
The PM quoted more Chinese 'investment' in the last eighteen months than in the past thirty years combined. There's a practical reason for that. 30-35 years ago Britain threw in the towel on our former creativity and determination to remain independent when lazy monetarism became the governing mind-set and philosophy here. Two major and highly destructive elements of which are the wholesale deindustrialisation complete with the benefits culture that displaced hard work for fair pay, and the selling off of every scrap of the family silver to have taken place since the early 80's necessary to fund a failed nation and keep up a pretence of normality. In China at PRECISELY THE SAME TIME policy to build industries aimed at becoming a global economic superpower kicked in.
In Britain politically driven failure. In China politically driven success. In Britain we pay people to do nothing all day whilst our homes are now jam-packed full of Chinese made merchandise; the precise reason they are rich and calling the shots whilst we are poor and in a position to be subjugated. A nation is its 'people' and they are its prime resource. Their work ethic (or lack of it as a result of being under siege for 30-35 years) is what drives a nation and makes it fail or succeed. In Britain, our politicians are oblivious to this simple truth and prefer to use smoke and mirrors to dress up failure as something better, whilst in China hard work has put that nation where it now is; in control!
That man Cameron and the entire political establishment he represents are the problem here. They cannot see beyond the ends of their own noses and make no attempt to do so.
