Is Nissan’s screeching U-turn on staying in the UK post-Brexit a sign that others will follow suit?

Nissan said leaving the EU would threaten its factory in the Sunderland. It may now ramp up production

Its gleaming factories would be shifted to France or Spain. Investment would be cancelled. And its workers, those poor misled, lied-to souls who voted so enthusiastically to leave the EU, would be thrown back on to the unemployment lines, probably never to work again.

If one company was emblematic of Project Fear it was Nissan. The Japanese car manufacturer warned repeatedly that it might have to close down production in Britain if we left the EU and didn’t secure a free trade deal that protected its supply chains, while hardcore Remainers constantly cited it as a prime example of the bitter irony that the people who voted for Brexit would be the ones to suffer most from it....

Political journalists boycott No 10 briefing after PM's aide tries to ban selected reporters - as it happened

Well done Boris. They don't like it, do they.

From the media...not sure if it has been posted earlier...



Boris Johnson has insisted Britain is ready to walk away from Brexit trade negotiations without a comprehensive deal rather than accept key EU demands.

The prime minister said there was “no need” to accept Brussels’ demands for a “level playing field” on areas like worker’s rights, the environment, tax and state aid.

We cant all be little miss f it may can we?
If so we would have no balls - she had none - no fish and just an endless payment of debts problem.
Dont care about the ref result - we left - lets get out and sod the EU who can only operate their way.
Bit like cracked EP Little bernie I want another ref so that the EU can plunder our fishing waters. What a sado?

Why shouldn’t the Uk undercut the EU, in trade deals and services. The Uk has left the EU, to steer its own course in business. Not make itself less attractive to investors.

Lot of moaners in the comments but the thumbs up are 2 to 1 compared to the downs; about the same ratio as the Great British Public's choice.

Never forget: Johnson is in the pocket of the ERG, 100%.

I like to think so, but even more I like to think they are of the same mind, viz when they say no deal is better than a bad deal, they actually mean it.

Better send them to Helsby Pete.

Can guess what that might be CTR, only problem being martyrdom is what they're hoping for.

"Should never be let out or better still send them to some uninhabited, bleak island off Scotland or somewhere where chances of survival are slim"

I've a cheaper solution Chesh :)

[cheshire pete] 03/2/2020 17:43

Unbelievable CTR: these people are fanatics who'll think the same way no matter how long or short the sentence. Should never be let out or better still send them to some uninhabited, bleak island off Scotland or somewhere where chances of survival are slim. If the bleeding heart lefty liberals feel sorry for them they can go and visit lol.

Hospital for coronavirus built in 10 days opens in China.
A hospital in the Chinese city of Wuhan for coronavirus patients was opened on Monday, after 10 days of construction. Another, bigger one is expected to open later this week. Meanwhile, millions of citizens of Wuhan are not allowed to leave the city.

The Huoshenshan Hospital has 1,000 beds received first patients, however, there was no information about their condition or how many people were admitted.

A project manager that worked on building the hospital told local media that, in normal conditions, a hospital of that size would require two years to be built. Construction work was uninterrupted since it started on January 24 and involved 7,000 laborers.

Yes but the Great British brickies could have knocked one up bigger better and quicker
It just wouldn't have had any doctors or nurses.
