Jaguar Landrover opening a new manufacturing plant in Slovakia.

Wonder how long it'll be before they shut the Solihull one down? Lift and shift. Benefits of globalisation.

Oh. I forgot to add, all done with EUSSR money. Asset stripping by the EUSSR.

What exactly has been lifted? JLR has only just opened a large engine plant in the Midlands, and show no signs of moving. Yet.

Without knowing the details, I'd guess it was done with access to EU

*loans* to Slovakia, mainly for infrastructure and not to JLR, and domestic sweeteners and tax breaks to JLR. Happy to stand corrected.

And no one has yet offered any guarantees that *if* we do actually leave the EU we won't see more of the same.

And that will placate some of the racist / bigoted Brexiteers because all those 'foreign people' coming here to work (and consume and pay taxes) will then go elsewhere!

you mean the foreigners who own our electrical supplies, our water supplies, many of our trains & buses, travel agents, (Thos Cook is German), car industry. etc. Those sort of foreigners?

Harry, Harry, Harry, STOP Making a TIT of yourself!

Another old, out of date article article which you haven't even read, and which doesn't even say what you think it might. Just stop now.

Chances are we will. If we can't get a free trade deal afterwards, why would any international maker want to manufacture here? With high energy, labour and infrastructure costs on top of any tariff?

Harry probably thinks JLR is still a UK owned firm. Oh - and if he doesn't like the EU giving grants etc, is he going to be happy to pay back those the UK got

Yup. Going to be interesting to see what happens when they're told they can no longer bring in managers etc from their home country.

Yet another thing the hard BREXIT lot haven't worked out.

If you're going to simply rubber stamp an application from a business based here to bring in essential staff, just the same will happen with a farmer wanting fruit pickers.

The can of worms hasn't even had the lid loosened - let alone opened.

Who knows and I'm sure the Brexiteers don't! ;-)

I was talking to a mate the other day when said that if we leave, he (as a British worker in a specialist international job) will have to leave his job because a pre-requite of the role is that he comes from an EU member state.

Quite.

You think harry 'thinks'? I think it's just a (broken) Bot. ;-)

We can't even stop *him* stealing our money ('yet' anyway) via his FIT theft so I doubt it very much!

'harry is ok thanks' and that is all that is important to harry ... ;-(

Rotten timing on their part with the pound vs. euro rate at present!

And your mate knows the future? FFS, get a grip.

If.

You think you think?

It would be wonderful if all those crooks in the hedge funds and investment banks f***ed off to Frankfurt like they threatened to do. No sign yet of them hoofing it, though. Still, we can but hope!

Well *you* certainly don't, Plowperson. You still haven't got over losing, have you? You lost. You're a loser. Not enough people believed your claims about the "benefits of remaining" and so we're leaving. Stop snivelling; suck it up and get over it, loser.

It was last year. Harry just trawls for articles he thinks might support his nasty prejudices but he doesn't read them or even check the date of them.

You will see more of the same. The majority of EU grants will migrate from rich western European countries to the poorer Eastern European countries.

This has nothing to do with Brexit.

Better than you can understand English by the looks of it. ;-(

Eh?

Yes, didn't you spot that at the beginning of the sentence?

Yes. Please try to keep up. ;-)

Since the article was written on Friday, December 11, 2015 I am not sure how they could have anticipated the present exchange rate. I know I didn't!

Sorry didn't realise it was an old article.
