And given the EU is Nissan UK's largest export market they will likely
soon be gone too. Along with lots of others - especially in financial
services.


Project fear continues!


In the lack of any firm plans for the way forward after Brexit, just what
do you expect?

We have had May promising Nissan they won't suffer financially after we
leave. So taxpayer's money to subsidise car production? Seems only
yesterday Boeing were objecting to what they thought was that.

These days a car factory in only in existence as long as the model it
was built for is still in production. Manufactures wanting to build a
new model prefer a green field sites in countries that gives them
maximum grants and the labour cost is cheapest. In the case of western
Europe its likely to be the former soviet aligned countries that will
get future car manufacturing/assembly jobs.


Very worrying that not only do those countries apparently have human
beings far more suited to pick fruit etc than the English, but also have
better skills for car building too?
Perhaps we should simply give up now...

Alternatively, Europe will be importing many of the cars from China or
India.
