CORPORATISM, BMW AND AN ATTACK ON BRITISH INDUSTRY

Dateline: 6th January 2000

One of the companies most enthusiastic for the Euro and the European Union – AND HENCE THE ABOLITION OF THE POUND, The Bank of England and British national self-governance is the car maker (and now owner of Rover and Rolls Royce) BMW which is effectively ruled by the Quandt family (one  of the biggest donors to Hitler's personal election fund in the 1930's!).

Since taking over Rover BMW has made massive losses and now seeks to screw down the prices charged by Rover's British suppliers. BMW is trying to insist that they invoice Rover at the artificial exchange rate of Euro's 1.31 to the Pound when the true rate is 1.59 to the Pound. This is in spite of the fact that BMW's own car sales in the UK are booming and they are making an excellent profit changing Pounds into Euro's at the real rate - 1.59 !

Such rank hypocrisy however is less significant than the attempt to force British companies to effectively adopt a blatantly political currency when the Euro has not been accepted by the British people and Parliament.

This is a classic case of corporatism - that is the intimate political links between big business, government and politicians (of all parties) in their traditional war against the democratic and commercial freedoms of individuals.
