Starting a thread doesn't give you the right to throw people out of it because you don't agree with them.

You're moaning about £60 million despite the fact most people seem to think a £60 million investment is not so bad in this instance as we've been sending £750 million to India every year despite the fact they're rich enough to have their own space programme. Drawing a comparison to money that some view is wasted abroad while you're moaning about investment in this country is relevant to the conversation.

I'm not throwing you out?...
I'm not 'moaning' I started a discussion, the foreign aid budget is there for all to see, this large investment wasn't that is the major difference.
Suggesting we don't sent money to johnny foreigner doesn't change the fact that this was I feel a pretty dodgy investment.

Johnny Foreigner? Smacks of "you're a xenophobe".

I feel it wasn't at all a dodgy investment, and I'm apparently not alone.

What words are you putting in my mouth now? I appreciate you think it's a good investment.

I'm not putting words in your mouth, just gently trying to encourage you not to throw a veiled insult and then deny it. It's annoying.

Yes, I think it's a good investment.

It's another colloquialism used to describe anyone from anywhere who isn't British.
It's annoying explaining myself due to accusation and manipulation of my posts.

Yeah I understand. It's annoying having to work out exactly what you mean sometimes. You see, "Johnny Foreigner" is indeed used to denote anyone not British, but it's only really used by people who are either taking the micky or who are a bit racist. So it's strange to see you use it in any other way.

Anyhoo... I think I've said all I have to say about this welcome investment news.

BAE are getting a 20% share in the company for their £20 million, what are British taxpayers getting for £60 million.....a wing?

My guess? Big fat nothing.

The government spends billion on research and development and quite right. Other countries invest in their own future, we'd be pretty stupid not to do the same.

What is the benefit, If private industry invest they get a return... where is the return?
It's nothing but a gamble, there are no assurances this thing will ever get off the ground.
