There have been far too many mistakes made by British governments over the years to list but the asset stripping away of our ability to manufacture is by far the greatest. Coal, steel, shipbuilding, automotive, water, power ....... the list goes on.

On the specific point of Welsh milk. The fightback is underway. We now ( for 18 months) have a milk delivery service in our area which is thriving and plans are afoot for this to be rolled out to wider areas. All products - milk, cream, cheese, yoghurts, butter are made in Wales from Welsh materials. Our family actively support Welsh production - dairy, meat, seafood. Not only is the quality high but the environmental impact is lower. The downside - you play a little more. However if we are going to get credibility back into our local manufacturing it has to start small & requires local support for the local entrepreneur. There are many many enterprises throughout Wales deserving of support and it starts with us the consumer.

Two good posts GPR. This has been one of my frustrations with Wales. We have a habit of letting things happen to us and moaning about it after. You're right. Charity starts at home. As a nation we need to learn to get a grip on things for ourselves. Unfortunately I think the Welsh Govt offers poor leadership on developing the Welsh economy.

Problem also is that MNC's prey on smaller businesses. They keep an eye out for successful smaller/developing businesses, then when they reach certain targets they come in with offers to buy them out. Control then goes out of Wales, and almost inevitably the factory/facility closes and disappears for good. Not sure what can be done about that to be honest.

Re the above, forgot to mention that the tax revenue also leaves Wales.
