" I think at least part of the idea is to export industries which require large union-isable workforces to countries where they can still just shoot the strikers or something " Yes: indeed. The UK elite have always had a strange snob relationship concerning manufacturing. "Being in manufacturing" was always considered somewhat vulgar: the ideal was to make your bundle then wash your dirty "trade" hands, purchase a baronetcy and set up yourself as landed gentry. Of course your titled neighbours: the previous lot who did that had themselves made their own bundles dealing in slaves, tobacco, sugar and drugs abroad, where you could likewise whip the recalcitrant workers to your hearts content.
