I don't have too much of a problem with foreign ownership because we do the same here, my point is that I fear the ratio is tipping well out of balance and I'm really not sure that it will be a good thing - Brits will not be their own masters. Jobs for Brits = great, but profits going out of the country = bad. A day will come when the waves rule Britannia! <strong>Marc Graves:</strong> Thanks Marc, I'm not a willing participant in certain aspects of the global economy and whilst I don't subscribe to protectionism I believe there should be an element of that in every industry in every country, just to ensure that nations can be self-sufficient. As for China running the US economy, it looks like they're taking over from the rich Arab nations, right?

It seems the general Englishman loves his country more than the people running it. It is pure greed, but we can't be sure it's actually a bad thing for England. Only time will tell.
