      Well, that is welcome good news in these troubling times. I wonder if the government did offer any guarantees (genuine question).

      Carlos Ghosn, Nissan chief executive, said government "support and assurances" allowed it to decide to make the two new cars in Sunderland.

      The decision will secure 7,000 jobs.

      Mr Ghosn said he welcomed prime minister Theresa May's "commitment to the automotive industry in Britain".

      Last month he warned that Nissan may not invest in the Sunderland plant unless the government guaranteed compensation for costs related to any new trade tariffs resulting from Brexit.

          Indeed. Nissan is a flagship manufacturing company and will be subsidised after Brexit.

          May promises to subside Nissan if necessary

              Good. We need some government intervention to help rebuild the manufacturing capability.

                  That's because the job cuts are more likely in Germany than the UK.

                      That will teach the miserable, slant-eyed sausage-eating swine.
