All These Car Jobs Going Back to Europe

[Konrad_the_Barbarian]

You should have stopped at Durham Konrad instead of trying (unsuccessfully) to read my mind and condition my preferences.

The cars manufactured at Sunderland will need to be bought by people with jobs and money, wherever they are in the world, or are you too thick to understand that?

Thick ... yes you really got me with that one Oscar

You clearly have no self awareness. You've just spent the last week calling Cummings a cnut as well as anyone who supports him.

I won't take any lessons on courtesy, manners or respect from you.

Amazing. Week done, 2 completely different scenarios. Maybe you are too.....nah, can’t bring myself to say it.

Anyway, carry on.

Great news for Sunderland. As far as the thread title goes, you do realise we haven't left the EU yet right?

We have...

And it IS good news.

Trust me... if they had announced Sunderland plant was closing and Barcelona staying this board would have gone into meltdown.

Trust Coops?!

Cummings IS a cnut and so is anyone who supports him ......

The egregious events of this week have made this one hard to argue against.

We may have left legally but nothing has changed until a deal is (or isnt) done at the end of the year. Point being, that is when we will start to see the effects.

This is also true.

Nissan have confirmed the effects of No Deal on Sunderland
Its unsustainable.

So, they have now said that they will leave in the event of any tariffs once we leave the EU. Might be posturing, but it shows any crowing from Brexiters that it will all be fine is very much premature.

Nissan high-up on BBC this morning saying Sunderland plant in danger in event of no deal Brexit, an event looking increasingly likely.

It kind of serves them right doesn't it, they all voted for brexit en masse.

Sad though, now the true horrors of brexit are being revealed

In fairness this is about ‘No Deal’ Brexit - nobody voted for that at the time.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

They didn't vote against it though..

 

[jam69]

well they were told that it would be the easiest deal in history

No but there are still a lot of "brexit at all costs" people out there.

This to me is sheer folly

If people are truly interested in seeing manufacturing jobs in the UK then try, wherever possible, to buy british built products.

Tricky if they stop being made here. Although TBF I can't see me buying a Nissan anytime soon

Supply chains are global too, and rely on efficient movement of parts. This is being taken away by Brexit, making manufacturing of any kind increasingly uneconomic.
Still, buy British, yeah! MUKGA.
