THIS shoddy Coalition claims to support British companies while at the same time stabbing UK companies in the back.

Contracts to build new railway stock—Germany given priority over Britain; Olympic tickets —USA company given priority over UK firms.

Now the MOD says UK firms will not be given priority in supplying our armed forces.

We need a Government that will actively support British companies and not foreign companies and, indeed, give priority to British workers.

I do not believe British workers are in any way inferior to foreign cheap labour. Think British and support British companies and workers; let’s start being more inward looking and get some pride back.
