  Keith, I fail to see your point (your first phrase in 35).
  Britain did produce textiles and electronics until M. Thatcher started closing down the industry and sending it abroad to cheap labour out of hatred towards workers' rights in Britain.
  Major and T. Blair followed on and finished our industry off.
  
  When we were producing in British factories, a part of the money spent on the purchases of the products obviously went to British workers.
  My mother worked at AVO in Dover, and at that time there were many, many hundreds of people working there. It was an electronics factory producing mainly meters.
  
  How do you think we would have lived, Keith, if my mum and dad had not worked?
  
  All we get now are Company chief executives earning top salaries and giving themselves bonuses on top of it after closing down our industries and using £25 a week cheap labour.
  That's how they get their top salaries, Keith, and their massive bonuses.
  Because before then, a part of the profits went on salaries to British workers.
  
  All we get now is mass unemployment and private debt and home eviction.
  And a bankrupt State to boot.
