It's an Opel question whether they will still call it Vauxhall there...

But remainers are the new gammons: red in the face and puffed with indignation.

I guess this passed you by

Great contribution to a thread from a gammon face as usual

The government had three years to prepare for a Big Ben bong....and failed
But three years is plenty enough for car manufacturers to adjust to an unknown and changing set of Brexit expectations.

It's not as if there's no history here.

Closure was on the cards as soon as Peugeot got their mits on it.

Brexiteers/Borisers voted for Singapore-on-Thames. This is an interesting test of whether low wages, tax avoidance, low capital investment, third world employment practices etc can compete with the benefits of the EU. It could go either way but the border hassle of Borisexit could tip the balance.

For Ellesmere Port to survive, it needs something else apart from the Astra. It's not a bad car but in a declining sector. Subtracting rather than adding work looks like the place is doomed.

Ftfy - just because it is only a few miles from my house.

Follow the jobs to the EU, off you all go....



Don't worry, we will keep the lights on here whilst you make your fortunes.

Not unless the French or the Chinese supply you with electricity.

Excellent doom thread.

We're going to see more of this as Brexit grinds on.

You don't need a job when you've got sovereignty

They clearly see this as a lower risk then staying in the UK which soon will have hardly any employee rights

Yes from April 5th I don't need to employ anyone directly just require them to work through an umbrella.

This. Making redundancies in Europe costs a lot more as workers rights, especially in Germany, are much greater and unions have a lot more influence.

[DaveB]

No comment easier and cheaper redundancy costs may also be a risk.

The main risk being Brexit
