So you would want to start a trade war with India? If we were to impose tarrifs on them, why would or should they not respond by imposing tarrifs on the UK?
Do you have any idea of the 'figures' involved here? Do you have any idea how many jobs in the 'defense industry' alone would be lost in th UK by such actions?
Some figures for 2000
Trade in good's in billions £ sterling
Trade from UK to India - 2.056 (that 2 trillion pounds sterling!)
Trade from India to UK - 1.712
Trade in Services
Trade from UK to India - 545
Trade from India to UK - 557
So you would want to start a trade war and put all the jobs, UK and India, that these multi trillion pound trades represent ? Ridiculous!
