Re: "UK...leader"...?
the UK is still an insignificant dot on the map
Here we go again. The UK is the world's largest economies, one of the most significant and respected trading nations on the planet. Our motor industry turns over about £70bn a year, mass makers like Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, BMW et al have large facitilies here, we're a world leader in premium cars with manufacturing and design for Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover, Rolls Royce, Bentley, there's 6 design centres, 13 R&D centres, we're the base of several world leading vehicle engineering specialists.
Have we got even a single manufacturer working on this - and I mean under UK ownership?
Domicile of the owning entity is irrelevant. We tried "owning" our motor industry by nationalising it. That went well, didn't it? Now look at JLR flourishing as part of the Tata Group. Why is Nissan's European Design Centre in London?
