i'm not sure how big of a deal it is in the case of something like British Steel, don't know enough about them

They levereage is "We'll pull our investments, causing massive damage to the economy." or "We'll put some more investments in, if you do X" or they use their origional investments to lobby the government,

i'm more worried about infrastructure like telecomms

I'm more hacked off that it's being sold off abroad, irrelevant of who it's going to. I'd like to really try and work hard in bringing industry back to the UK

Nationalise it @Crafty

it wont effect our economy... they own it.. its their money, their economy

> it wont effect our economy

It will though..

@Mikey Yeah this. It just seems like the only companies we can own these days are service ones

Those are British jobs they control.

ok say they pull investment... what happens?

how do you "pull investment"?

That industry collapses

you have to "sell"

Liquidate the assets

and who do you sell to?

Sell the land, layoff the workers, etc.

Anyone who wants to buy it on the market..

exactly...

they have no leverage

What do you mean? <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

They destroy those businesses

Meaning, people lose their jobs

Meaning, less tax income

at worst... the gov nationalises it for even cheaper than it is now 😛

Meaning, less products being produced

Meaning, they have leverage over us

How are you a fucking Chinese shill?

zero leverage

You're brain-dead

Im pro UK having leverage over china

Yet you're pro-Brexit, which will mean more Chinese investment in the UK...

And you're pro-Chinese investment in the UK <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Giving them more control over us

LMAO

and Ive just explained why we have leverage over them.. and they have zero leverage over us 😛

Your words and actions contradict eachother

And I've explained how your reasoning is flawed.

cos they cant "pull investment"

they can only "sell" ..
