The Olympic bell, a symbol of the 2012 games and the might of Great Britain, is to be made
in the Netherlands. The commission was
given to the Whitechapel foundry, who
cannot handle such a large piece, and so it was sub-contracted to a Dutch company. Unbelievable!
No wonder we have high levels of unemployment in the UK, if we insist on letting prestige work disappear overseas, This ought to set the alarm bells ringing, and presumably it will, when the new alarm bells are delivered from Thailand.
