I was in Oz way back in 1991, and even then the Aussies were complaining about the Japanese buying up all of the land and building golf courses and hotels for wealthy Japanese businessmen. I guess, nowadays it's the Chinese who are buying up the land for minerals and mining. The same thing happened here though, most of our great British engineering and manufacturing companies were bought by Yanks, Swiss, Germans and French.....even the Spanish got in on the act buying BA, BAA, O2 and Abbey National/Alliance and Leicester How can we allow a basketcase economy like Spain buy up blue chip British companies What next? will we allow the Greeks to run our remaining banks
