UK not considered for Tesla factory because of Brexit

Problem is, in the UK, who wants to make cars when you can make trillions through global banking and "tax" management services?

That’s the low-Tax, low-regulation country that the Tories are aiming for. Wealth for the few.

I forgot though, you don’t care about anyone but yourself, right?

BMW and Mercedes Benz really suffer from their works councils; they'll be out of business soon.

They suffer from utterly deplorable reliability.

Maybe if they spent less time munching sausages with the management they would build better cars.

Really? My last BMW did 270,000km in 7 years and only went into the garage once for repairs and that was for a Lambda sensor. My current BMW has now done 120,000km in 5 years and has also been into the garage only once for repairs and that was only because a stone went through a cooling grid. Maybe they just ship the Monday and Friday cars to the UK to give grumpy Brits something to moan about, probably why the Australians call British people 'whinging poms'

So will the City of London relocate up north to help out the Mackem's?

"My Granny smoked 40 a day" level cretinism.

Makes sense, there's more room in Germany for the car fires. Plus plenty of cheap labor in the former Eastern-bloc to be exploited.

Chin up. That's the spirit!

11 days until we take the BMW in and get the Tesla.

I can sense this is going to be a total fook up already.

My Granny smoked 40 a day.

Explains a lot

"I'd rather pedal a little girl's bike" .... very funny

Although I abhor the sexist gender stereotyping
