Why the hell would the Government bail out the British car industry, and in particular Landrover, when they have been hell-bent on destroying it for the last 10yrs?

Opel would return to being a stand alone unit outside of GM control....

Think they would only assist companies listed on the UK financial market....as that way they would be protecting the tax gained from them.....cant see them doing anything for foreign companies.

The Tata business model is to run them all as wholly seperate, independent entities.  If one of these businesses cannot survive on its own, they'll pull the plug on it.
