Vauxhall was the last hope......

Sooner or later a lightbulb will go off inside a Brexiter’s head and they’ll realise that maybe Brexit has something to do with it after all.

Or perhaps not. It’ll be the way that the government handled it, or the Remoaners putting it down, or the bully EU. Anything but the perfect sunlit uplands with unicorns and cake that was always an unattainable fantasy.

Vauxhall hasn't left Luton yet. Nor does it have any plans to do so as far as I am aware.

We'll all just have to drive Vauxhall Vivaros

Not leaving. Just not making further investment for the time being. It’s their contingency plan.

According to you in another thread, it’s a good business decision for manufacturers to have contingency planning.

It is. It shows that the management are on top of things and considering all possibilities and not just sitting back building their pension pots and complaining when somebody else is not making their business decisions for them.

So manufacturing businesses making a deliberate decision to not invest in the UK is a good thing?

Should have put that on the side of a bus, it sounds like a vote-winner.

Did I ever say that was a good thing? But it does show, that unlike some businesses that are complaining, that their leadership has shown to have done their due diligence and come to a business decision based on the risk assessment they have conducted. In a nutshell, You and I may not like the decision but they have done the job they are paid to do and run the business for the sole benefit of their shareholders who only want a financial return on their investment.

And there’s the other set of people to blame, the shareholders.

Ever thought about sticking your hand up and admitting that it was your vote that got us in this position? Or leading Brexiters? Or anyone or anything on the Leave side?
