About time too. Regardless of other arguments surely the past few months have shown the dangers of farming out so much of our manufacturing capability.

Interesting comment; the only other companies making this incredibly advanced technology are European, Ericsson and Nokia. They're not UK or USA companies.

It's that we won't, not that we can't. Companies want to maximise shareholder value, and not value to society. People want to buy the cheapest, no matter if it's inferior as they don't understand technology and would rather have cheap [censored], rather than risk getting expensive [censored].
As a society it's about time we seriously consider our economic model, we cannot live on a services industry forever. We need to ensure this is done now else it won't end well for us.
