While a notable character, I feel that the intransigence on both sides, union and management, along with government weakness, only hastened the demise of the British motor industry at a difficult time economically.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

The article linked above is certainly pretty damning. Shame really, given the circumstances by which it has come back to attention.

The real problem was the cr@p cars they were making could be sold so their storage costs were considerable.
Curtailing manufacturing of the few models that did sell and making more of the disasters only worsened the problem.
