Thanks to The Register, here is a nice graph of the decline of manufacturing in the UK since 1945. You'll notice one small problem with the "decline" bit.
An absolute increase can be a relative decline. Show UK manufacturing output as a percentage of that of the whole world and I suspect that there will be a dramatically different picture. Not that that invalidates the point that that graph is making.
