Pretty standard for many UK industries at that time both state
and private. Take the maximum you possibly can out of them.

That is a bare faced lie with the most successful private ones.

Go back to the time when the GPO existed. And list
all UK industries then. Now see how many still exist.

Nothing to do with taking the maximum possible out,
everything to do with the union riddled operations
not being even remotely competitive with Korea,
Japan, China, India etc etc etc.

You'd be hard pressed to find any consumer
goods made in the UK these days.

For the reason I listed.

Unlike Germany.

How odd that British aircraft engine industry leaves the
kraut operations for dead. Same with Airbus components.

British car manufacturing was always a steaming turd
compared with what the krauts had, nothing to do with
taking the maximum possible out of the operation.
Everything to do with you lot not having a ****ing clue
about how to design and make cars.
