you'd have to have a lot of specially trained fitters and engineers - in other words, skilled workers, exactly the kind of people who'd form unions, earn a lot more money than resentful Daily Mail reading office monkeys and generally cause trouble!

no, the definitive answer is to scrap all industry (it's too complicated and expensive to maintain anyway), return to a feudal society and undo 500 years of social progress along the way
