The best British bikes ever made were the 1958 7R AJS , the 1962 30 M Manx, and the 1965 Seeley G50 Matchless. They were actually 'fit for purpose'. They prove the British are capable of producing quality product. What is wrong is the mindset. A cooperative does not work. What is needed is a corporation with a high level of employee share ownership as well as productivity gain sharing. Then everyone in the organisation would be pointed in the same direction and focussed on continual improvement. When a factory gets involved in motorcycle racing, everybody in the company should be behind the effort. This cannot be achieved by authoritarian management, it has to be voluntary.In the UK, you still have the class system in which there is top down structure in companies. We all need to move away from that and have common goals. When push comes to shove, the Chinese rely on authoritarianism. It is very difficult to assure quality under those circumstances. With the Japanese, the controls are internalised. However the British democratic system can be superior, if the right mindset is applied. That was proved during WW2.
