Lots of reasons for British decline in matters of industry imho. Monetarist policies didn’t help, militarist unions, poor investment, the desire for other places to develop and, I believe, a lose of faith in a successful society - the dream of an equatable society was lost by all. Followed by a complete abandonment of the philosophy of corporate responsibility. However, what is missed by most commentators is the simple fact it was my fault; too long in the pub lunch times, buying me parents council house, multi carpet bagging with Building Society accounts to get share issues, then there was the denationalisation shares. I shamefully lost my position on the moral high ground and got me nose in the trough.... as did so many others. Sorry guys it was me. I have tried since to act with a social conscience on my work, but my sons run long and deep, redemption may have to take place in several more life times.
