I do sympathise, but if they are foreign, is the investment from abroad as well? We don't live in a socialist directed business environment- the EEC charters free movement of investment and labour. KLM have a perfect right to decide that they shall run the business as they wish. It is not 'stealing' jobs and it is the headline that grates. How nice it would be if local investment could provide such employment opportunities, but perhaps we should ask why we rely on a foreign business to provide jobs at ABZ. Maybe answers like 'hostile UK Government policies to business and excessive taxation' would be forthcoming.
