"There is little point in giving money to motor manufacturers so they can send the workers back to build more cars that are going to stand on fields because people don't want them," says Professor Kevin Morley of Warwick Business School, who is a former managing director of Rover.
When he was in charge at Rover he presided over a workforce who built cars which stood on airfields for months, if 30 cars an hour was the production target, then 30 cars would be built every hour and woe betide anyone who stopped the track. No customers! No matter, 30 an hour carry on chaps.
