Car production is quite low in Eastern Europe and Spain, but it won't stop the lies about the EU moving car manufacturing to low wage countries.

pathetic really

This year maybe

next year also possibly

in 5 years time?

what about 10?

What do you think the governments of these other EU members with lower GDP's will be doing apart from trying to attract jobs by offering subsides and cheap labour.

Not true.

Car production in Spain is higher than in the UK, and their pay is only very slightly less.

Wages in Poland have grown 4 fold since they joined the EU. In 10 years they will have caught up.

It's the Brexiteers who want to drive wages down and attract jobs by offering subsidies and cheap Labour through getting rid of those pesky regulations.

Brexit is certainly not going to slow the decline in british car manufacturing though is it? Self fulfilling prophesy.

You're deflecting again my dear fellow. We're discussing Nissan moving investment out of the UK to Japan due to Brexit, not other EU countries obtaining inward investments.

[Old Greg]

I do not think anyone is denying that

But what is being said is that things are not going to get worse - they are just not going to potentially get something they may have potentially got had Brexit not happened.

The Quashai will continue to be manufactured in Sunderland which is useful when you consider where Nissan's largest European Market is.

Nissan reports Europe sales for March 2018

If it wasn't for the opportunities of Brexit, Nissan would have pulled out of Sunderland entirely. So this is very much a story of Brexit saves the day.

Nissan had originally asked for £80m in state support but following a review by an independent advisory committee that figure was reduced £61m.
