You're out!
We can see just who is out here & it isn't me.


"AstraZeneca plc is a British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company with its headquarters at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus in Cambridge, England."


You made the error of saying Cambridge USA and you should have corrected your error sooner.

Because you make so many mistakes that you're just not sure about anything any more?


Unlike you Solly, I'm here to stay.


You're getting really desperate if you imagine some sort of success from a non-event when the reality is that the UK is forging ahead of the EU despite Brexit, and it is that fact that is haunting you I suspect.

As for trading with china, i'm afraid that is inevitable, at least for the moment. The problem is that they can produce goods far more cheaply than we can, and probably so compared to most other countries in the world.
Having said that, i recently bought an excellent pair of leather shoes at sainsbury's - made in india!
So, yes, i'm afraid that cheaply-made goods are things that we are, as yet, unable to compete with. I think the best we can hope for is to set up manufacturing plants in the far east, but owned and run by our own people - and profits should come to this country of course!

That's because Nestle have made such decisions long before the EU even existed.
Didn't you realise that, Solly?
Not every business decision on planet Earth is related to Brexit old chum.

We're all used to the excuses the major manufacturers use to justify their own cost-saving exercises by now.
We also know that other companies are expanding here which makes Nestle's excuses look even more like just that: excuses.
But haters gotta hate I suppose.
