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 .

i never mentioned it deliberatly steeljack, would have been accused of being political by the saddos, especially as they secretly funded Mosley.

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 .

Indeed it does ... and Stronach is the quintessential self-made billionaire pirate, according to some anyway. By the way, his daughter Belinda was linked romantically with William Jefferson Cliton.

Jeez, can't even spell his name right

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

to me it's strange when the whole of what could be deemed as "capitalist" nations..most of Western Europe, the USA, Japan and so on have been crying to high heaven that they are in economic meltdown, the Russians and Chinese have said nowt!... how come Russia and China just carry on business as usuall whe we are told we are bankrupt?

Quite simply, because they are now the models of successful capitalist economies.

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