This is what taking back control looks like...for the Japanese and Americans!
Not getting involved in the words Project fear as that is just invented hyperbole but it extremely disappointing and sad that yet more big companies are allowed to be swallowed up willy nilly by foreign companies with HMG doing diddly squat about it as if it was the Americans , Chinese ,French and Germans governments it would be a different kettle of fish one would imagine.

Yes taking back control Andrew but there certainly won't be many companies the British control sadly.
