Default TopGear end of series twenty makes me sad.

The last episode was a tribute to all things automotive and manufactured in Britain. All these great things that they are proud of making (including body work to some G6E Falcon's). The British Government seems to be encouraging vehicle manufacturing, and it's increasing.

Now while this is a great thing... it makes me sad that we aren't doing anything to keep our vehicle manufactures here. Or even any manufacturing here. We are quite content to let it go, and the the tax payer even hates the very thought of his money investing in it. How tragic is that? When such a great thing is derided.

I guess if we don't want it... we don't deserve it, and we can specialise in administration and management of local branches of foreign companies.... that only sell us stuff.
