What has that report got to do with the EU? It's simply an example of the globalisation which we should all be welcoming (as it brings investment from across the world into businesses throughout the world).
Our major ports are Chinese-owned (as are brands such as Weetabix). Drinking Typhoo tea will see you supporting an Indian company (as will drinking Tetley tea, which is owned by a different Indian firm). Switching to beer will see you adding to the profits of Dutch companies if you drink John Smith's beers or Newcastle Brown. Bass is US-owned and switching to spirits won't see you get away from foreign firms; Beefeater gin and Chivas Regal whisky come from a French-owned firm. Your mobile phone provider is probably an overseas company. (EE is German & French-owned. O2 is Spanish). Travel on an Arriva bus or train and you're adding to the profits of a German firm whereas, around here, our Abellio train services are Dutch-owned. Shop in Asda and you're supporting a US company. (However they're now suffering a lot of competition from German-owned Aldi and Lidl).
It's no different anywhere else. For example, the USA's most well-known beer, Budweiser, is actually Belgian-owned. Many African countries rely heavily upon Chinese investment to support their economies.

^^^ Yes, Sandy, it's good to see that UK car manufacturers, such as Toyota, did so well last year!

Oh, hang on a moment. That report contains a quote from the Chief Executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders saying "Europe is our biggest trading partner and the UK's membership of the European Union is vital for the automotive sector in order to secure future growth and jobs."
That can't be right, can it, Bazwillrun?

Who are our 'resident Marxists', Svejk? (Certainly not me! My own political views are, in many ways, generally well to the right of those of Adolf Hitler!).
Further, what's wrong with championing companies who do everything possible to minimise the amount of tax that they pay? They're simply doing:
(a) what every self-employed person does ; and
(b) what they're legally obliged to do (because directors must always act in the best interests of shareholders).

For the record, Svejk, I vote Lib Dem (largely because of their support for Europe). If there was no Lib Dem candidate I'd probably vote Conservative. If I walked out of the polling booth and realised that I'd accidentally put my cross against a Labour (or indeed, a UKIP) candidate I'd seriously have to consider taking my own life!
How the hell does that make me 'left wing'???
