Recommended Posts

It was quoted on BBC news.

The BBC quoted the "Pro-Brexit" Swindon MP's statement, not Hondas.

 

Unsurprisingly, he's desperate for it to be anything but Brexit related, but the reality is that Honda has been warning about exactly this for the last 18 months.

If Brexit is a factor for ending production at Swindon, then why have Honda made the decision now instead of waiting another six weeks until they know  how things have panned out?

You expect a multinational manufacturer to wait until brexit day? Seriously? If they wait, and it’s a no deal it’s costing them millions. Frankly I’m amazed they've left it this late.

Oh I think we can.

 

A lot of Brexit voters are downright stupid, with no understanding of the economic and social fallout of their decision to leave the EU.

 

Up until now they have blamed the EU for most of our problems.  Once the economic effects start up in earnest and they start being even worse off, who will they blame then? We can be sure they will need to blame someone. I wouldn’t fancy being anything other than very English/British looking when that happens.

We should blame the bosses.

That is a something Corbyn really needs to think about.

 

It is all very well saying that Labour MPs in Leave voting constiuencies have to support Brexit, but when these constituencies start to suffer major job losses, you can bet your bottom dollar that the people there will be wanting to know why they weren't warned about it and why their local MP didn't do anything about it.

 

And let's not forget that even the government's own forecasts predicted that it is these Labour areas which will be hit first, and hardest by the effects of leaving the EU..

To be fair they probably waited as long as they could.

 

First of many announcements.

 

Only those of us who remember the U.K. in the 70s and 80s will know what it’s like to endure catastrophic economic announcements day after day.

 

Those days are back. And you will be taking the blame.

If Brexit is a factor, do you expect Honda to say so?

Which ones?

 

The ones who want a fairly organised well regulated economy within the EU or the ones who want a low wage, unregulated free for all,  outside the EU?

 

You seem to only want to blame the former and cheerlead for the latter, sweatshop bosses.

What about the boss of the country - Mrs May?

Ironic this weekend when she asked her mps to "move beyond what divides us" and yet she wasn't willing to compromise on her 'red lines' - lines which she alone has set, not her party, the country or anyone else.

 

But no, "this lady's not for turning" - not even as she drives the country to a cliff edge!

 

Suicide, not compromise!!!
