Honda are going to announce closure of Swindon plant tomorrow. Loss of 3500 jobs.
This will be my job going as I work in the Logistics company involved in getting the parts to the line.
They say it is not Brexit. What a load of $hit.

What a pity it wasnt Brexit how shattering I heard it follows the trade deal signed recently between Japan and the EU. If there are no longer tariffs then it would probably make sense to produce in Japan. Good news is, after Brexit UK would be able to apply tariffs, so this will be sorted out before they close, they will have to stay in UK.

They are moving production to Japan not the EU They are also closing plants in USA and canada that's no doubt to do with brexit as well ?

From what I can gather Toyota might be next. It's to do with diesel cars no one wants to buy them so plants that build diesel cars have problems. Even if we had voted to remain in the EU this would be occurring exactly as it is. I also read it's related to the new trade deal between the EU and japan where Japan can export tariff free to the EU hence they have no need for car plants in the EU. Great negotiating there EU !
So that and the changes in the car market looks like our car industry is finished from Japanese manufacturers.
Not only is it not to do with brexit but the EU have facilitated it. Not shooting in the foot more like blowing both legs off

Not shooting in the foot more like blowing both legs off As I said, there is the fact that the EU has signed a trade deal with Japan and the country to suffer the most is UK, not Germany or France. That's probably a farewell gift from the EU and if UK had enough influence, it could have done something about it. But life goes on.

It will affect the japanese car plants in Europe and had we voted to remain this would be happening exactly the same. The EU strikes a trade deal that's not in britains interests exactly why in future we need to strike our own deals

The EU strikes a trade deal that's not in britains interests exactly why in future we need to strike our own deals Any country in the EU can influence deals negotiated by the EU and even block them. A few communes in Belgium if I am not mistaken blocked the Canada deal until some modifications were made. However, UK doesn't have that kind of influence anymore or rather the Tories wanted to have a free trade deal with other countries including Japan themselves. You are in for a rough ride according to me and you are only seeing the beginning. If there is no deal Nissan will most probably shut down their Sunderland plant, then we'll watch the Brexiters celebrate as they did after the referendum results came out. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/o...refuses-to-sign
