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: One: 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.
Two: sit back and meekly allow foreign companies in China, Vietnam, India and Turkey to greedily gobble up 95 per cent of 2012 merchandising.
Three: cancel the 2012 Olympics and give the electorate a vote on whether it wants Tom Daley as Prime Minister.
Answer: number two (sadly).
Aled Jones, Bridlington.
