		<description>Why not sell BP, Glaxo and Shell to foreigners while you are at it, swiftly followed by anything not bolted down in the City?   

Answer: 

Companies remember their heart is where their home is.  

For example: Think just how much politically easier it must be to flush Saab down the pan when the current owner is not actually Swedish?   Good, I hear you say.  It wasn't fit enough for the market.   That's the kind of free market global capitalism that gives Karl Marx a good name.

Basically, we need SOME companies among the owners as well as the owned to have any shred of self respect, disproportionate income from exploiting other nations and safety in bad times, when as we all know a company's thoughts turn to core business and to home countries and head offices. 

Personally I think you have just crafted this contentious argument to draw attention to your blog.

It's so self evidently worthless piffle that you can't possibly really believe it.

Still.   Makes a good headline dunnit?</description>
