They are already tooling up to supply Jaguar Landrover ...

Have you got special needs or something ?

Just looking for clarification, no need to get on your high horse.

I've given you all the clarification you need. You simply refuse to believe anything that isn't googled up from some crappy EU propaganda or from the Guardian.

Quite funny really. You were quoting from Fullfact before - do you realise its run by a bunch of ex tory boys ?

Nevertheless, it is publicly available. Your mate's statements nt. And the fact that you stated it ads no value as your track record on statements varies from exaggerations to blatant lies.

Come on boys, this is only a forum for the over fifties it isn't parliament! And it shouldn't be necessary to corroborate every single fact.

Although we could probably do a better job than the present government....

To be honest OGF I thought "de fantastische vier" would have been more active tonight than they have been, perhaps he's busy.

Perhaps following Nigel's fantastic support in London today Ray, it has given the pro EU lads a bloody nose.....

Looks like BMW might be taking over the Honda plant in Swindon.

Well, fancy that ....

Re: Toyota To Build New Car In UK

We have to remember that BMW are not the EU, they have to follow the rules just like the rest of them, and at the end of the day they are a business looking for profit. The majority of vehicles on UK roads are German, and good luck to them, but could it be that if some BMW's are produced over here for the UK market (as they are produced with Right hand drive) it would avoid a lot of the red tape applied by the EU concerning exports? Especially if we exit the EU with no deal.

Could it be that other German and French manufacturers might follow?
These companies are in business first and the EU second!
And let's face it, big businesses will always find a way around the rules...

Quite possible since they are closing other plants in the UK. Perhaps they close inefficient assemblage lines in favour of the modern honda assembly line?
