The first link has no numbers, journalists are prone to making errors of all sorts.

The second link is from 2015, I just gave the latest figures from 2016.

The third figure states clearly that the number they employ is 110,000, so I was right, with all the total Indian firms taken into account they lag behind even Tescos.

Here are the figures of how many people Tescos employs in the UK. It's premium stats content, but the figures can be viewed on the right hand side. Tescos has well over 300,000 employed in the UK alone.

In actual fact Tescos employed more people than all Indian firms combined back in 2007;

260,000 Number of employees in UK, making Tesco the biggest private sector employee.

It may depend on how you calculate employment. Majority of employments by Tesco's are temporary while Tata Steel provide permanent employment.

I don't want to go into precise numbers, but whatever numbers you go through you will find India in top 5 contributor to UK economy in almost all categories. And this contribution is grow as India grows. My larger point is India is one of the most influential contributors to UK's economy. And UK would certainly want the relationship between India and UK to continue.

Most are full-time. Around a third are part-time workers and they have come under fire for it, so now they are far more careful about contract employment. With that said TATA employs part-time workers at its plants as well. In actual fact many of its workers were and still are on reduced hours due to the financial losses it was taking.

India is a growing contributor, I'm not denying that and of course we want a good relationship. But I posted here to extinguish any preconceived notion that the UK can be held to ransom, it certainly cannot.

I never said India wants to hold UK to ransom. In fact there is no reason for India to hold UK ransom. I was answering one of the poster who said that India in a minuscule player in UK economy.

My original point was regarding Brexit and its effects on UK economy. All I can say is that there are uncertainties on how UK economy will take its path, and that uncertainties are reflected in pound loosing massively against dollar after Brexit.

I didn't say you did, but you have said things in the recent past which has led me to believe you want to belittle the UK. As you have clarified your position, I'll leave it at that.

As for the rest currencies rise and fall, in actual fact he latest exports have made for great reading, with buoyant firms enjoying competitive export prices, which of course is a crucial component of AD, leading to growth.

India is neither small nor big players in UK... however post brexit, countries like India and china will have a stronger bargaining position at negotiation with UK. The Ms May's round the world visit is more about posturing(targets voters back home as well as european leaders) than any substantial deal. Nobody know what shape or form brexit will take, so its early days for any negotiation. @waz will obviously have different views.

Whatever happens, UK is not going down, it has tremendous potential(as trump will say) in a globalized world. Its a country of very practical people, they will bribe, beg, borrow, steal, do whatever it takes, to remain on top.

The funny thing is that these butthurt people who keep claiming Britain is dead while they are shupa powa, their own country is nowhere near Britain in many major fields. Lol

Anyway only a very naive or foolish person will claim Britain is protectionist meanwhile we are one of the most capitalistic/liberal country in the western world (many argue that our government is even too liberal which I agree to some extent).
Moreover people keep forgetting that Britain isn't productive,competitive, have high living standards, very low unemployment, innovative, skilled, because of the E.U. if that was the case Italy,Greece, spain will all be doing well economically like Britain since they are also in the E.U. We invest massively abroad and other countries also invest massively in Britain that's the foovaised world in which we live in.
Every country have its comparative advantage, and our skills, innovation,productivity won't disspaear suddenly because we left the E.U. lol Anyway once things settle down and a deal has been reached everything will return to normal and after a year or so, everybody will forget about this Brexit stuff. Thats how we humans are. Lol

Using some delusional people logic on here, since we are the largest investor in U.S by far employing over a million Americans, we are a shiny hyper power and we should hold the U.S to ransom. lol

Britain's economy vs its regional integraity , is perhaps the #1 nation in world comparitive to the land they occupy and $$ they generate.

Money generation potential point of view.

Technically Canada is sorta British owned (at least in past ) same goes with Australia however I don't fully know the political differencesin point of view between these countries and why their citizens can't openly travel to each other's regions

Britain - Canada - Australia , are technically Britsh (now folks in theses regions may differ with me greatly and I would not have a an understanding why they are different)


All play soccer (Some of them suck at it not UK of course)
All play cricket (Some suck at it, not Australia and UK of course)
All have good social structure
They may have connection to the queen

Britain + Canada + Australia > USA in term of potential


Don't quite understand why Canada does not flies Euro Fighter (British Jet) etc

British jets strike ISIL in northern Syria in coordination with Turkey: Turkish military
ANKARA

British fighter jets under the U.S.-led anti-Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) coalition conducted air strikes in northern Syria on Jan. 18, the Turkish army has said, noting that it marked the first coalition air strike in a long time.

“An air attack has been conducted on Daesh terror organization targets, which were determined as a result of target coordination with the coalition in the Bzagah region at around 3:30 p.m. [12:30 p.m. GMT] today [Jan. 18] by the Coalition Air Forces [with the Tornado fighter jets of Britain],” read a Turkish General Staff statement issued on Jan. 18, using DAESH, the Arabic acronym for ISIL.

It said that while the targets were destroyed, the air strikes came as a first in a long time from the anti-ISIL coalition.

Hope to see more cooperation between both country's militaries and air Forces against ISIS in North Syria. Judging by talks both leaders had about the situation in Syria and Iraq, guess that will be the case this coming weeks.

Not owned bro, their sovereign nations and we share our Queen. Of course the vast majority of their populations are of British stock, they have similar laws,systems and they share language and culture, make them our perfect allies.
As for not flying the Typhoon, that's more to do with American pressure lol.
