However, I do agree with him on the point that the government should support small startup manufacturers.

I have been having great difficulties having Ipad cases, hand bags and other leather goods manufactured in the UK simply because Manufacturers don’t have the resources or man power to take too many commissions simultaneously. Therefore, I wouldn’t mind setting up my own small manufacturing company with two or three employees to manufacture my own collection,

Any one of the many abandoned warehouses in west london would be perfect for my purpose. What makes me angry however, is that the government would rather have the abandoned properties be derelict rather than supporting someone like me to turn the warehouse to functional factories and to create jobs and trade opportunities.
