You're wrong

Some light reading for you: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/0...uring_figures/

And a chart for the hard of thinking. That's the Index of Production - our manufacturing base - failing to 'collapse'. The fact that we've also grown as global leaders in financial services does not mean that industry has gone away
None of which negates my point that the economy is no longer manufacturing based. It's also worth remembering that a lot of UK produced goods rely on imported parts, so prices will have to rise in line with the cost of those parts.
