The sun is going to rise in the east tomorrow, are the remoaners going to blame brexit for that too?
The fact that Bulgaria is pretty poor guarantees they won’t do Brexit anytime soon
Execs can live in France/Italy and commute

In summary, half hanging out the EU has damaged the UK's manufacturing industry, resulting in the EU being blamed for the malaise, Brexit is simply the death knell.

About 3.8 million people were in manufacturing jobs in the UK last November.
UK manufacturing currently employs 2.6 million people
A million jobs have disappeared since 2002
...ah but this is nothing to do with the Euro, everyone else is losing jobs:
oh, hang on

DHL for instance moved to Prague 15+ years ago, many others did as well, some of my ex employers built a huge service centre there 10 years ago and one in India & Mexico. why because they were cheap.

hey if you think I convinced the CEO of multi billion dollar companies to offshore factories throughout the MEDCs then you are sadly mistaken. They just realised LEDC staff are cheaper and have fewer rights.
I can see why you believe all the Bremoaner bollux.
was this caused by Brexit then?

Things have got even worse in recent years, due to the strength of the British pound which is undermining competitiveness even further.And companies such as Anglo-Dutch food giant Unilever and car makers Nissan and Honda have already warned that they may be forced to go elsewhere unless the UK embraces the euro.
About 3.8 million people were in manufacturing jobs in the UK last November, 150,000 fewer than in the previous year. This year, the most pessimistic forecasters expect another 180,000 jobs to go.
do any of those names look familiar?Last edited by vetran; 14 October 2018, 10:50.

They won't have any problem recruiting.

Most production lines that were in UK in the last 4 of 6 employers that I worked at were moved out of the UK the other 2 were either too small or did it in the 90s.
Your desperate attempt to blame brexit is just sad.

Originally posted by Mordac View PostAnything to do with the fact that they have relatively cheap labour? (I don't mean you of course, I'm sure you are worth your daily rate and expenses).
There has to be an end to EU expansion into cheap labour markets, because they are running out of cheap labour markets. What's their Plan B?
