Bombardier And British Business
July 06 2011
If our government makes decisions that wreck British business, then small businesses in the country, that are trying to be sustainable, ethical and environmentally friendly, are under threat.
Please write to your MP to see if we can stop the ridiculous attitude of the Transport Secretary to award contracts to other countries, while, at the same time, destroy ours and our people. My letter to David Cameron is below, please feel free to copy and alter it to address your M.P.
Local small businesses here on Mapperley Plains have won the battle to stop parking charges, that were killing their businesses, so it really does work. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!!!!!
With love and hope

LETTER TO YOUR M.P. AND TO THE PRIME MINISTER
Dear Prime Minister
I am hoping that you can stop the Transport Secretary killing some business in Britain for good.
Lawyers inform me that it is absolute nonsense to blame E.U. regulations as they are open to interpretation, and if giving a contract is outside of the National interest, then you have an automatic ‘get out of jail free’ card.
Mr Hammond said that he was ‘astonished’ that Germany and France had managed to award contracts to companies within their own country!! Is he really living in the real world or is he an office accountant, purely looking at figures in the short term with no concept whatsoever about business in the long term. This department is a complete disaster and if someone does not intervene and stop the carnage that will certainly ensue, then the country is looking forward to a very bleak future indeed. Setting up a team to investigate, and setting up a team to help the effects are both insulting to our intelligence and a complete waste of time. We are talking about business here, not a meeting to decide what colour we should paint the office.
Defending his position by saying that the contract may not have saved Bombardier is also a complete nonsense. How can taking business away from a company be anything other than harmful. Also, blaming the Labour party is just an excuse. He has the power, but he is unable to use it correctly. Instead of someone with ability in business, his behaviour is that of a public sector worker that can make destructive decisions because he has the safety net and the huge power of government to fall back on.
Politicians, with their expenses and meetings, are not there purely to balance figures and look at the best deal for each negotiation in terms of money; they also have a duty of care. Please remind the Minister of this. After listening to him he seems to be a person that remains fixed in ‘I have to do it as it is the best deal when we look at the figures and those are the rules’, and so am not hopeful that he will see sense and change his mind. It may be that you are our only hope, as you have certainly managed to over-ride other silly decisions that people have made, thank goodness. Please do everything you can to stop them before we lose Bombardier altogether.
Sincerely
Susie Bailey BSc (Hons)
