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

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

Chances are we will.

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.

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?

Quite.

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!

Harry probably thinks JLR is still a UK owned firm.

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

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

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 ...
;-(
