Shift from basic industry to fiscal/service based economy.

Unless you would personally go work in a factory constructing cars you don't have any right to complain.

1. We make loads of cars here, the British car industry is booming. Especially Japanese and German cars.

2. British commercial car company management in 70s was terrible so foreign owners were brought in, and that saved the British car industry

3. Much of the high end (Formula 1) and luxury stuff is still based in the UK

In general the UK concentrates on high end manufacturing such as engines, turbines, and so on. Stuff that most other countries can't do. And we're competitive with the countries that can.

There's a German Daimler and a British Daimler that are completely unrelated.

Your crappy quality control and massive unions killed it. We had the same problem too we just recovered from it in time. It's not all her fault.
