Blimey, saw you were posting here, and expected a bit of sparring.
We agree!
We should be asking why another western European company is able to win this contract, and a British firm can't.
If it had been awarded to a third world country, we know they'd have undercut us on labour, and other manufacturing costs.
This issue needs addressing, so it hopefully won't happen again.
