Surprising how no-one has mentioned how much support Oswald Mosley and the British Union had during the 30s , I imagine it would have been much higher , probably enough to form a Govt. if WW1 had gone the other way .

Don't want to be a "Doubting Thomas/Jerimiah " I wouldn't anyone to lose their job, but I'm a suspicious sod , Manga is listed as being a Canadian company , but all the money to finance this deal is coming from a Russian bank and to me it stinks to high heaven .

Jeez, can't even spell his name right:rolleyes:

But, bottom line is, the Germans were, and are active in preserving 20 thousand German jobs.

And they firmly control their banks and, particularly with the Chinese, their currency.
