car manufacturing lies

Well the sad demise of Ryton car plant in th euK announced yesterday was another plant going away from our country.
The reason ? It had the poorest productivity apparently of the other plants shortlisted for closure so it was the obvious choice .
The Ford plant at Dagenham was anounced the same when it announced its closure .
I dont know if the situation is the same , but could be .
Ford announced that Dagenham was going onto a 1 shift system about 2 years before its final statement. There was talk about how this would improve productivity by so doing . This was so obviously hocum , that I remembered it and expected it to shut , citing poor productivity . All manufacturing works best productivity wise by working as many hours/day as possible [ the capital employed becomes diluted] . Sure enough it did.
I havent heard anything about Ryton prior to this , but wonder if it , too , went onto a shorter working week [ in terms of hrs/day utilised] before this announcement .
In any case , it is very easy for a multi national company to load costs if it wishes [ and routinely does in terms of transferring profits from hig htax to low tax countries] so productivity arguments could easily be spurious

wow radio 4 asked for stats anomalies .
im sending this to radio 4 , but it wont be mentioned ..... [ i reckon]
Iraq invasion UK decision - ' quote 'its a real and present danger....' I forget the rest but was talking aboutdanger to UK .
Iraq had missiles that could reach 120-170 Km so could devastate British tourists in southern Turkey so we had to stop that ...... why did the media not mention that ? it was the main reason we went to waR

fox hunting update

Um , now that the debate and law about fox hunting with dogs has been laid to rest , an update .
Firstly , we were inundated with the fact that foxes were vermin and as such should be killed , so why not with a Hunt ?
If you think about it , foxes tend to eat already deceased wild animals , rabbits and the odd pheasant/grouse .
Game birds tend not to be hugely prevalent in the countryside , apart from areas where they are gonna be shot in season - so its not just that .
So foxes eat vermin such as rabbits , and as such are vermin and as such should be hunted ................. ?
Its about the correct argument . Not so fifty years ago , though maybe when chickens were part of their diet . Unfortunately chicken farms are very unlikely to be infiltrated by foxes .
So the arguments about whether hunting with dogs should be allowed because foxes are vermin is fatuous in the extreme IMO anyway .
Secondly ; Hunts seem to be very good at losing the scent already laid , and instead seem to be excellent at finding live foxes. It's another silly law - it didnt have enough ground support so was always unlikely to be enforced
