By what do you mean "any foreign interest"? Does that mean investors or also customers?

It means a Nationalisation by the backdoor.

Chinese or American or Indian or any foreign entity will not be allowed to try and buy Forgemasters.

Hmm. Would this have anything to do with the Wells Fargo loan, or the failed attempt of Chinese investment, or yet another case of Boris Brexitannia locking the door after the horse has bolted?

Use whatever opinion fits your political narrative.

Its a prudent move, and guarantees some steel supply for our submarines and ships.

Will Frogemasters still be able to sell superguns to our enemies, so that we can still have an excuse to flatten third world countries such as Iraq?

Did they ever sell one? What was the outcome of the investigation into that?

Do we ever sell armaments to our enemies?

A quick squint at the list of countries which have used the Vickers machine gun does tend to give some insight into the matter.

Of course, I have absolutely no idea how Vickers machine guns could be connected in any way with Sheffield Forgemasters..........

Maybe the answers died along with the Canadian bull.

I actually met Gerard Bull. Absolutely brilliant mind and a very engaging man.

Mossad did for him outside his Brussels flat. He had had warnings though, to desist from "helping Iraq". Sadly his pursuit of his dream cost him his life.

Apparently, according to the pediea of wiki, it was somehow connected with HARP? Not that I'm into shit like conspiracy theories or anything. I just like to adjust the spellings of words.

Imagine, a supergun powerful enough to send a warhead into space?

HARP was the early American study into High Altitude projectiles. Basically, it involved welding several stored 16 inch gun barrels together. If I remember rightly, it was based in Barbados.

Bull wanted to develop the idea further but the West didn't want to know. Hence Bull's skirting around embargos with "rogue" nations.

Incidentally, the Germans built a gun in 1918, that launched huge shells 75 miles into Paris. So the ideas go even further back.

Apart from selling frigates built by Vosper Thornrycroft to Iran, one of which had the cheek to threaten a tanker we were escorting out the straits of Hormuz one Sunday morning in 1987.

I completely agree.

But, however...

I do find the number of American people who can account for their Germanic family tree to be quite alarming.
