Honda also closed it's european other factory in Turkey...

Turkey is not an EU member, the cars produced there were for Honda's non-EU/internal market.

 

Quote

which is in the European Customs Union.

Turkey is not in the European Customs Union!

 

Turkey has a separate customs union arrangement with the EU, that is distinctly different.

 

Goods may travel between the two entities without any customs restrictions, but goods entering the EU from Turkey *are* subject to tariffs.

 

Hence, Honda never produced cars for the EU market in Turkey, it would not be economically viable to do so.

It isn't true Brexit had any bearing on Honda's decision to close their factory in Swindon as implied by the serial anti Brexit poster making it Fake News. 

LOL, no-one with any connection to the auto industry seems to agree:

Honda had been avoiding making a decision about Swindon for many years, Brexit ultimately tipped the balance.

So , thats fake news then ?

Is it?

 

Why is it?

 

What do you think?

 

Do you even have an opinion?

 

Why not share it?

 

It might take more than a one liner glib comment though, so don't overtax yourself!

 

Same ole Hanckneyed... you're not fooling anyone... you haven't changed at all!

Why haven't both Toyota and Nissan closed their UK factories like what Honda have done?  Do you think Brexit only happened for Honda and didn't happen for Toyota and Nissan?

...because, as has been repeatedly stated, Honda had structural issues with their business that Brexit made impossible to resolve, unlike Toyota and Nissan.

 

As before, Brexit was not the only issue, but it was the straw that broke the camels back.

Which the news piece makes quite clear

No, the actual news is correct.   Once more, it's not fake news and you seem to have little idea what fake news actually is.

The threat title has a biased slant. "consequences" usually means the negative result of an  action.

 

A better, more neutral title, could have been something like "Britain post Brexit".

A Freudian slip? 😄

So, back to the topic at hand:

 

• We still don't have control of our borders.  Refugees are continuing to arrive on our shoes, and we can't send them back to the European mainland.
   
• We're paying Le Francais £tens of millions to so . . . something.
   
• The fishermen who voted for Brexit are having their livelihoods ruined.
   
• The farmers are next, because they can no longer receive EU subsidies, and the Evil Tory government have signed an one-sided trade deal with Austroylier' (the former penal conoly) to ship their beef over here.
   
• And it now costs a fortune in fees, time and effort to ship high-value items to mainland Europe.

 

Can anybody remind me of the benefits again?

 

And I mean, a real, tanglible benefit, not a jingoistic cliche about democracy, Lockdoctor.

You make a valid point.  This thread is  "The Consequences of Brexit (part  9)" which has been created by a forum moderator who naturally continued with the same title as the previous 8 Consequences of Brexit threads.  My guess is the original thread which must have been called "The Consequences of Brexit"  was created by a Remainer, anti Brexit, anti British and anti democracy poster which explains the biased slant to the thread title.  Perhaps this thread should now be closed and replaced with a new thread titled "Great Britain post Brexit" 

The dictionary definition does imply a negative, but it can also be a positive.

 Feel free to start a positive thread and see if we are still posting to it 5 years later.

We can no longer blame the EU for our curvy cucumbers or the dinghies, its all down to Boris Johnson.

being a Brexiter, incompetent and posh, he'll probably get compensated by joining the cabinet of Evil Tories.

 

Ooh that reminds me of a Brexit benefit: does happier fish count?  Or not tangible enough?

The thread titles have been discussed before. This isn't a "things that happened after brexit" thread, it's a "things that happened because of brexit" thread - hence the use of consequences in the title.
