Too Much Water
@Roberto 828, From my knowledge of Hitachi, they will hire and fire to meet demand, that said they are consistently winning orders although some can be made in Italy which has cheaper costs I gather.

From my knowledge of car industry, locally, I know Honda have used Brexit as a catch-all problem for many issues eg Diesel cars, poor electric offering, trend of declining sales in Europe, sales growth in mainland Asia, their own internal company issues, and a desire to reshore back to Japan due to incentives from Abe. I’m sure some of those will apply to Nissan too.

I wasn’t solely aiming my comment at you Doogs.

A large number of posters have said similar things or suggested that only people in here know better or are more intelligent.

Interesting, TMW - I don't know enough about industry to comment.

I suspect Blyth Valley will be like Pennsylvania under Trump - lots of disillusioned voters saying "But he lied to us...". Johnson will have no interest in doing anything for the north...

I did see some interesting / depressing vox pops in 2016 around the relative knowledge of European trivia by Leavers and Remainers respectively...

Certainly more compassionate, DV.

I'm so upset.

If it was purely a lack of compassion, it'd be one thing, Linds . I still think it's a massive act of national economic and geopolitical self-harm, that'll benefit very few in practice...

Serious question.

I get that most of the blame for Labour's performance will go on Corbyn because he hasn't proved popular, and I get that the move now will be to get a new leader that will avoid that problem.

However, given that most of the hatred for Corbyn is based on the massive smear campaign that the Tories and the written press have waged, and that huge amounts of the Tory campaigning has been based on lies and no-one has cared about that, what makes anyone think they won't do the same again to whoever replaces him?

I agree Dooògs. I was just trying to be... I don't know what I was trying to do. Express my distress without being personal.

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.
