Yesterday my wife's employer made everyone redundant and closed the
factory. Production is being moved from Scotland to the sister plants in
Poland/Czech Rep. The reason given is production will then be in the EU
where most customers are located and supply will not be subject to
duties once transition period ends.

Isnlt that similar to why nissan may increse production in the UK
because importing cars from the EU will cost more making nissan cheap
so we'll be buying nissan rather than BMW or whatever.
but we still have 10 10 years negotiations, but why it takes so long I
just don't know.



It takes such along time for the EU to go round all 27 members each one
trying to outdo the other with posturing over red lines and setting out
their negotiating demands. Then when the other country refuses one they
have to go all the way round again to agree the change. And so it goes
on ad nauseam - well for about 10 years.
