When the Japanese set up in the UK they made sure their

when Nissan built its factory in Sunderland they did not employ

UK car industry because they would be tainted goods.

Really? Got some proof of that? Not one single person?

Of course they didn't employ assembly workers from the car making areas.
They were all a long way away. The whole idea of the government grants etc
was to provide new employment in an area where the traditional industries
had declined.

You'll be telling us next that shipyards etc never had industrial
disputes. Which is why Nissan chose Sunderland.

They trained everyone from scratch.

That's a step up from BL, then. Training was an unnecessary expense there.
