You must have missed the bit where it was Slovakian state aid that persuaded JLR to build a new car plant there instead of in Mexico.

The EU undertook a regulatory check to ensure that the aid was within permitted guidelines but made no financial contribution.

http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-6023_en.htm

One of the functions of the EU checks is to ensure:
“The aid must not directly cause the relocation of existing or closed down activities from elsewhere in the EU to the aided establishment”

I understand this has been doing the rounds on social media and no doubt there’s 17.4 million others who believe the same Russian propaganda as you.

Ah! So you're saying that it was Slovakia bribing them to move to Slovakia and the EU endorsing the bribe.

Maybe the UK should find some desperate EU Company and give them 130 million to move over here.

Mighty stupid remark. Banchory just explained that the E U prevents that kind of actions.

So which part of:-

"One of the functions of the EU checks is to ensure:

Don't you understand?

Seeing that the link was from the EU, I hardly think the Russians would have posted that!

Hi

We are globalised, like it or not, we cannot put the clock back.

Big business will go wherever they can make more profits, that is why Dyson moved manufacturing from the UK.

Dyson moving HQ is a tax loss to the UK.

Other companies based here in the UK are moving to the EU, a simple fact of life, and their moves are as a direct result of Brexit.

Services, our biggest exports, are not covered by WTO Rules or Free Trade Deals and these companies are setting up in the EU, simply because that is a bigger market than the UK.

There will not be a lot of job losses, but there will be a lot of Tax Losses.

Juncker is laughing, the former Prime Minister of Luxembourg, 40 UK based companies have moved their offices to Luxembourg, others to Frankfurt and Dublin, so they can continue trading in the EU.

Panasonic moved last year, Sony is moving and P&O are moving the ferries from UK Registration.

There always was a financial cost to Brexit, it is not all savings.

Always look on the bright side !!

Companies setting up offices in Eurpe will still pay tax on their UK earnings in the UK and EU based companies will need to set up offices here in order to trade if there is no deal.

I heard JLR are going to invest massively into Solihull to make the electric versions of their cars. It's the old diesel type stuff that's going to Slovakia and China...

That's what I heard anyway.
