More Brexit wining

Honda workers in Swindon to face 'reality check' after it closes

Swindon car plant prepares to stop production on July 30 after 35 years of production.

www.bbc.co.uk

I know someone who works at the Swindon plant in a relatively senior role.

The decision is as much to do with diesels being less popular, electric cars becoming more popular and Asian markets being more critical to Honda as it is with Brexit.

Of course it’s easier for Honda to blame Brexit than their own shit business strategy

their "shit business strategy" made them pretty much the only significant car manufacturer not done for bending the rules for emissions. Feel sorry for Honda always had a soft spot them and they were seen off .over what happened with Rover

Perhaps not on this thread, although I did think that was what The39thStep was getting at but let's not pretend nostalgia for this imagined wonderful past didn't play a role in this shit show.

Well let's not pretend my post had anything to do with that , it was completely about life before open all hours trading.

Honda, the people who made the decision stated as fact Brexit had nothing to do with it. The article is some professor saying he thinks he knows better and that Honda did pull out cos Brexit and not cos shite sales in europe vs US and the electric car revolution, something that seems to be heavily centred on the U.K., oddly enough.

I was talking / reminiscing to a mate of mine in the U.K. about Saturday mornings before the supermarkets took over and opened all hours . Used to be queues outside the butchers from 8 onwards to get the best bits of meat , same with bakers for bread , fishmongers for fish and the grocers for fruit and veg . If you hadn’t done your shopping by 3 in the afternoon you just made do with what they had left as nothing was open Sundays .
Used to the paper sale 10 o’clock for an hour , quick pint , do the shopping and back in the pub for a pint . Pick some horses out , watch the racing in the pub and then totter off home at 3 when the pub closed.

You are sounding like an eerie echo of the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch here, tbh

It’s not Covid that’s damaging British trade. It’s Brexit | International trade | The Guardian

amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org

For a while it wasn’t clear how much the pandemic was complicating the picture. Those who campaigned for Britain to quit the single market and customs union were able to hide behind broader figures that showed global trade taking a hit – and, since January, when the transition period came to an end, how the second and third waves of the virus had distorted most exporting countries’ trading patterns.

That isn’t true any more. There are just too many independent reports examining the UK’s trade figures that are reaching the same conclusion: Brexit is bad for exporters. And not just today and tomorrow, but for a very long time.

From your article:

• Why is Honda closing its only European factory?

Honda bosses say they sell more cars in Asia and America than in Europe and so need to focus their production in their strongest markets.

But not everyone is convinced this is the real reason.

Professor Andrew Graves at the University of Bath believes the factory may be closing due to Brexit.



Honda states as fact it's cos: Honda bosses say they sell more cars in Asia and America than in Europe and so need to focus their production in their strongest markets.

But this guy has a belief: Professor Andrew Graves at the University of Bath believes the factory may be closing due to Brexit.

So which is right, the company stating their reason for closing its only factory in Europe cos Europe is a dead market or some professor's belief?
