David Guyatt Wrote:I note that it was the Daily Bellylaugh they took their story to. Moving to another jurisdiction is an old City ploy to scare the government into bending their knee. Fear that the City will move out lock, stock and barrel leaves successive governments whimpering in dread fear. So powerful the "services" industry has become ever since it convinced government to effectively trash UK manufacturing that it is like a puppeteer pulling the strings.
That gave me a good belly laugh. So true. It is one of the less subtle, but nonetheless tried and trusted methods of ensuring that the political puppet apparatchiks remain 'on message'.
