Renton 21625 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 On 12/04/2018 at 11:41, Renton said: So, there is a rumour on the wind that Nissan Sunderland is going to be announced as a "planned closure" after 2022 shortly. I have no idea as to the source or veracity of this rumour. In a way I would hope it's true as it may focus government minds to stay in the SM and CU and the closure will therefore be prevented. On the other hand if May sticks with her red lines it would be simply catastrophic for the north east, as demonstrated by the government's own economic analysis. There's a very gloomy article on the BBC today about the challenges of Brexit to the automotive industry as it happens, none of it is good. There is simply no positive upshot. But I'd like to ask @Christmas Tree if hypothetically this happens if he will admit he was wrong to back Brexit? And furthermore, even if it doesn't happen, why he felt the risk, which he acknowledged was real at the time, was warranted? Yeah, you'll say you've said it all before, but you really haven't. Now I know you're an intellectual heavyweight, I think you owe it to clarify to us other than we're going to get a "cracking deal". Nissan to cut hundreds of jobs at Sunderland. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/business/business-news/nissan-cut-jobs-sunderland-due-14555976 Now interestingly the reason given is the fall in demand for diesel, not Brexit. I'm suspicious, but prepared to accept this. However, it seems obvious to me that Brexit exposes this plant to particular risks. I'd say you'd have to be an idiot to vote for Brexit if you were a service provider to that community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a supporter of David Davis since the 2005 leadership contest but he's underachieving big time under May's government and I put it down to mostly Theresa May's government being pretty shite.

Alex 35082 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 He's not very intelligent, that's his main problem. He had absolutely no vision regarding the fallout of the leave vote he campaigned for and has no idea how to rectify the variety of problems that have arisen as a result. As payback May put him in the post which would expose this to the greatest degree. If it wasn't so important it would be poetic justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without condoning the whole Brexit operation, I agree that Raab would have been a better choice. Presumably he was a Remainer though, and May seemed to put Brexiters into high profile positions as a shield against being remembered as the PM who oversaw whatever horrors will follow (break up of the Union, economic regression, etc).

SpaceCadet 5 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 You can't blame me on May. I was team Fox until the membership were usurped and May was coronated thanks to Leadsom walking blindly into a trap despite it being obvious the media were after her.
