HERE’S a quiz. The UK manufacturing sector is disorientated, weak, and growing at its slowest pace for nearly two years.
However, the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games provide a golden opportunity for home businesses to expand.
So do we:
a) Ensure all gear worn by Britain’s Olympic athletes, and all the vast array of London 2012 merchandise, is exclusively produced by British workers in British-owned factories.
b) Sit back and meekly allow foreign companies in China, Vietnam, India and Turkey to greedily gobble up 95 per cent of 2012 merchandising.
c) Cancel the 2012 Olympics and give the electorate a vote on whether it wants Tom Daley as Prime Minister.
Answer: b)
Aled Jones, Mount Crescent, Bridlington.
