In recent history I don't think HMG have ever shown any major interest in saving or protecting any strategic industry ... For reasons I cannot fathom they seem to have bought into a version of the free market that is so laissez faire/devil take the hindmost that it can even make our American cousins look like socialists.

I reckon some MPs and Ministers might finally notice something has changed when they get lobbied by their mates when they finally realise they cannot get to Grand Cayman direct from London anymore....

Ooooh quick, back to work
