What needs to happen before people notice the globalists are packing up their belongings and setting off for other places to asset strip ?
So you think the owners are happy to take a hit in the hundreds of millions to move on?
And you think HOF is an example of asset-stripping...as they junk dozens of assets?
It has been badly managed for decades.
I don't know where they taught you economics or business, but you deserve your money back.
Well the economics was in a grammar school many years ago since you ask. Only an A level , but it was the old sort where you couldn't get your dad to do your coursework and you didn't pass by just turning up. I've run a few little businesses down the years and I still dabble in property development , so that's the business bit.
Most people think I'm quite clever at making money actually, but what do I know ?
I think the Chinese owners certainly weren't concerned with re investment , but that's really not the point. It's yet another indicator that people aren't spending money in high streets, where British workers are employed and local businesses supported both by the bigger retailer and money spent locally by staff and customers on their way to and from the shops.
Now the reason they're not spending money ( or paying taxes) is because they haven't got any, and that's because they haven't got jobs, and that's because we don't make stuff or transport it anymore. As a result of today's closures there are another 600 people without jobs or money to spend .
If money is spent on the Internet, it's probably going abroad, and it's certainly not being taxed efficiently .
Your beloved public sector cannot operate without real wealth creation by private businesses within the country including manufacture, agriculture, exports transport and maintainance
because it is funded by taxes. If you believe the bullshit about why it's okay to allow all our wealth to go abroad and get gradually sucked into the control of a few globalists, then I really don't think it's me who's economically naive.
