How about offering them all grants to come back again. Wouldn't need to be too generous, as likely they'll jump at the chance to leave EU in decline.

Worth remembering. An education for the Master Race who despise the serfs.....Brexit. Think about it....Peter Barnes15 Dec 2020 1:16PMHere's a list of UK Companies that have been transferred to other countries using EU grants. Anyone who thinks the EU is good for British industry or any other business simply hasn't paid attention to what has been systematically asset-stripped from the UK.Cadbury moved factory to Poland 2011 with EU grant.Ford Transit moved to Turkey 2013 with EU grant.Jaguar Land Rover has recently agreed to build a new plant in Slovakia with EU grant, owned by Tata, the same company who have trashed our steel works and emptied the workers pension funds.Peugeot closed its Ryton (was Rootes Group) plant and moved production to Slovakia with EU grant.British Army's new Ajax fighting vehicles to be built in SPAIN using SWEDISH steel at the request of the EU to support jobs in Spain with EU grant, rather than Wales.Dyson gone to Malaysia, with an EU loan.Crown Closures, Bournemouth (Was METAL BOX), gone to Poland with EU grant, once employed 1,200.M&S manufacturing gone to far east with EU loan.Hornby models gone. In fact all toys and models now gone from UK along with the patents all with with EU grants.Gillette gone to eastern Europe with EU grant.Texas Instruments Greenock gone to Germany with EU grant.Indesit at Bodelwyddan Wales gone with EU grant.Sekisui Alveo said production at its Merthyr Tydfil Industrial Park foam plant will relocate production to Roermond in the Netherlands, with EU funding.Hoover Merthyr factory moved out of UK to Czech Republic and the Far East by Italian company Candy with EU backing.ICI integration into Holland's AkzoNobel with EU bank loan and within days of the merger, several factories in the UK, were closed, eliminating 3,500 jobs.Boots sold to Italians Stefano Pessina who have based their HQ in Switzerland to avoid tax to the tune of £80 million a year, using an EU loan for the purchase.JDS Uniphase run by two Dutch men, brought up companies in the UK with £20 million in EU 'regeneration' grants, created a pollution nightmare and just closed it all down leaving 1,200 out of work and an environmental clean-up paid for by the UK tax-payer. They also raided the pension fund and drained it dry.UK airports are owned by a Spanish company.Scottish Power is owned by a Spanish company.Most London buses are run by Spanish and German companies.The Hinkley Point C nuclear power station to be built by French company EDF, part owned by the French government, using cheap Chinese steel that has catastrophically failed in other nuclear installations. Now EDF say the costs will be double or more and it will be very late even if it does come online.Swindon was once our producer of rail locomotives and rolling stock. Not any more, it's Bombardier in Derby and due to their losses in the aviation market, that could see the end of the British railways manufacturing altogether even though Bombardier had EU grants to keep Derby going which they diverted to their loss-making aviation side in Canada.39% of British invention patents have been passed to foreign companies, many of them in the EU.The Mini cars that Cameron stood in front of as an example of British engineering, are built by BMW mostly in Holland and Austria. His campaign bus was made in Germany even though we have Plaxton, Optare, Bluebird, Dennis etc., in the UK. The bicycle for the Greens was made in the far east, not by Raleigh UK but then they are probably going to move to the Netherlands too as they have said recently.Name one major technology company still running in the UK, I used to contract out to many, then the work just dried up as they were sold off to companies from France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, etc., and now we don't even teach electronic technology for technicians any more, due to EU regulations.I haven't detailed our non-existent fishing industry the EU paid to destroy, nor the farmers being paid NOT to produce food they could sell for more than they get paid to do nothing, don't even go there.I haven't mentioned what it costs us to be asset-stripped like this, nor have I mentioned immigration, nor the risk to our security if control of our armed forces is passed to Brussels or Germany....

Liverpool were woeful last night. They won't win anything this year if they continue to play like that.

"On Tuesday night, the UK government wrote to the EU, calling for temporary lighter enforcement of the rules to be extended until early 2023."

Brexiter sovereignty folks!

ROFLMAO!

This is nice....The owner of Cadbury will bring all production of the chocolate bar from Europe back to the UK following a £15m investment at its original site in Bournville, Birmingham.Mondelez, which was formed after Cadbury's former owner Kraft demerged its grocery business in 2011, said it will move production of 12,000 tonnes of chocolate - equivalent to 125m bars - from its sites in Germany and across Europe to Birmingham from next year. The shift will mean the majority of Cadbury Dairy Milk will be made at the Birmingham site from next year and will add to the 35,000 tonnes made at the factory in 2020...

It makes me chuckle how you openly declare that you aren't very clever on things and yet you seem absolutely sure of yourself on Brexit.

If you are a reasonably competent chap you should be reasonably capable of doing reasonably well on most things you turn your attention to. Yet the self-doubt on your politics never happens.

Good these tabloids at the old brainwashing aren't they. :)

Cameron and the UK had already had plenty of concessions. Mostly for The City but you serfs aren't aware of that.

Cameron knew before he even got on the plane that the answer would be no.


It fooled you though, didn't it, you numpty.

The new CEO is also a lover of India and off shoring, so expect even more UK jobs losses :((

[crazi] 04/2/2021 11:42

The new CEO is an Investment Banker. They hired him for a reason!

So expect some investment capital 2nd Half starting up a new "Investment Banking Division". About time too! That's where the BIG profits are...

Cameron tried to get them to give ground to his reasonable proposals but Merkel wouldn't. Was that another 'foolish mistake' lol.

"quite happy to be subservient"

Says the Brexiter whose chiefs are currently begging the EU to bend their laws.

Pathetic, truly is.

Being in a union doesn't mean subservience but I know you Brexiters have been fooled to see it that way. It isn't difficult to fool you, by-the-way. A union is made because you have common values and beliefs and similar objectives. I can assure you most of the UK public share more in common with the EU than they do with Eton boys and their plutocratic sponsors. It is just a case of how long the facade will continue and judging by the stupidity and ignorance of UK citizens it could be a very long time.
