Britain was attempting to preserve its Empire, it did not really need workers from its colonies, I did not make this up. It is from EP Thompson, Lydia Lindsey, Peter Thorsheim, Gareth Jones, Miles Ogborn...... you sir, are naive and even oblivious if you believe that Britain was only trying to 'appeal for immigrants' in the British Nationality Act of 1948.... Imperialism is imperialism, particularly in recovery from war. if they wanted immigrants so bad why did they treat them like shit?

that wasn't my point at all. you also overemphasised manufacturing and forgot about distribution (ie, how such produced firearms end up in peoples hands to begin with)
