Think you have answered your own question there , the only reason there are no manufacturing jobs is because people prefer to buy cheap Chinese made imports , Does anyone know what percentage of non-food goods ASDA/Walmart sells that are made in the UK ? maybe 5% .
How many times have there been complaints about Accrington becoming Pound shop central ( all imported tat) and the closing of high brand shops because folks don't patronize them .
How many parents spend hundreds of Pounds every Christmas on imported toys and how many would be prepared to pay a few pounds more if the Toys were British made . You cannot have it both ways , if you want decent wages you have to be prepared to pay a decent price for goods and services .
