Quite. And having effectively curtailed unions by abolishing the

British trade unions took their role of representing the labour
force too far and tried to be agents of social change. Instead of
teaming up with Trotskyists devoted to class struggle, British
unions should have taken a leaf out of the Germans' book and worked
co-operatively with owners and managers to improve industrial
efficiency for mutual benefit.

Tee-Hee. German industry actively seeked the cooperation of their unions.

Nothing funny about it. It results in stability and everybody benefits

Thats because by and large post war German ondustrial law was built by
British Army officers.

Really? Did they also build Dutch & Scandinavian industrial laws? Where did
these officers go wrong with Italy? Which German industrial law says
"Confrontational politics are forbidden"

Why didn't the same thing happen in UK.

Because we won the war. We didn't lose it.

So we didnt get our debts forgiven, loads of secret jewish gold, an
ethnically cleansed monoculture, sane military laws imposed and
****loads of free money from the USA to rebuild with, whilst still
retaining a civil service staffed by career Nazis, whose final pensions
even reflected their wartime service.
