Sometimes it is right to bail out a company - a good example is when the UK govt bailed out Rolls Royce, the company went through a rough patch, got bailed out, got its shit sorted and is now profitable again - which means it is employing people, making products, paying taxes etc.

Sometimes it isn't.

but, even though they're still made in England, thought BMW owned Rolls Royce?

If memory serves, when the UK government did the bailout, they were the same company, they were split I think when the company was privatized again, and then BMW bought the Car part later (again, going off memory, details might be wrong)

That sounds right - they thought they were getting Bentley as well, but that was split off as well and Volkswagen snaffled them.
