Aynsley China in Longton.
THE decision by Aynsley China to cut its historic ties with the Potteries and decamp to Eastern Europe should come as no surprise.
It will be just another manufacturer taking advantage of Britains membership of the European Union, which was formed to ease the movement of both capital and Labour within its borders.
Whether its a migrant worker employed locally or one working for the likes of Aynsley China in Poland, you can bet the wages will be cut-throat, bottom dollar.
The answer is to leave the European Union and revert to the days when we were independent and belonged to a family of nations called the Commonwealth.
We had privileged access to some of the potentially richest developing markets In the world, and Commonwealth Preference provided the nation with low cost food.
This is in contrast to the fiasco that followed with the European Union and its mountains of food.
This policy was to placate the continental farmer at the cost of increasing the average British households food bill by 20 per week.
This begs the question who is going to extricate us from this unholy mess?
One would expect it to be the Labour Party, once the traditional defender of working peoples rights.

Brussels: The European Union has vowed to fight people smugglers' new tactic of abandoning "ghost ships" full of migrants off European coasts.
The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, said it was following closely the events surrounding the crewless Ezadeen merchant ship, which was drifting toward Italy's southern shores carrying 450 migrants when Italian sailors took control of it on Friday.
It was the second time in three days Italian authorities found themselves racing to rescue hundreds of migrants from an ageing freighter that traffickers had pointed towards Italy and abandoned, leaving the ship to plow through wintry seas at top speed with no one at the helm, heading for the coastline.

Rescuers were able to board the ship only after it ran out of fuel and stopped, and by afternoon they were towing it to shore. But the episode was confirmation traffickers had hit on a new tactic to extract ever greater profits from human misery while eluding apprehension.

"When we called the ship to ask about its status, a migrant woman responded, saying, 'We are alone, and we have no one to help us'," said Commander Filippo Marini, an Italian Coast Guard spokesman.
Ezadeen, a 49-year-old livestock carrier sailing under the flag of Sierra Leone, which departed from a Turkish port, had been left on autopilot, Marini said. Paramedics reported that the migrants, most of whom were believed to be Syrian, were in good health, he added.
Until recently, migrants going to Italy by sea arrived primarily in smaller boats that sailed north from North Africa. The shift to steel-hulled cargo ships approaching from the east denoted a new strategy, an Italian naval official said, and traffickers were secure in the knowledge that no one was going to allow a boat to crash on Italian or Greek shores.
