Peter, in post 15 were you joking?
So who is supposed to work then in Britain if Cadburies, Wheetabix and Heinz baked beens all closed down here and opened up elsewhere?
Productive economy also implies paying a wage to the workers (who pay tax on it and do the shopping, pay the rent/mortgage etc.).
If we followed your advice above, what would be left? Only unemployment.
And who, pray, should pay the benefits for 6 or 7 million unemployed people, or 10 million if you like?
