Multinational? They dont own it.
Anyway going back into Joe's time warp and related to Rolls Royce aero engines - in 1946 the Labour Govt and their Communist Trade Minister Cripps gave Rolls Royce Nene jet engines to Stalins Russia thus helping fuel the cold war
Nice bit of buisness on labours part.
Following the Tories’ third election victory, they were sufficiently confident to roll out their most aggressive privatisation programme yet. British Steel, British Petroleum, Rolls Royce, British Airways, water and electricity were among the major utilities for sale. These privatisations provoked serious opposition, perhaps sufficient to curb any tendency toward privatisation in the National Health Service. Nonetheless, market-driven measures continued to be imposed in the public sector, from the “internal market” in the health service to Major’s ill-fated citizen’s charter.
