So sad about the Ford plant. I just don't get how the so called Brexiters can be still feeling good about it all. Upsetting to see the country being wrecked for no good reason.

A vote that should never have been given . The country is divided and fucked ( pardon my French)

Am sure there will be lots of remain voter in that plant who are doubly sickened by this.

Cinammoncake · 06/06/2019 22:58

I'm sure there are ssd and they must feel sick about it all. I wasn't suggesting people who worked there all voted for it. It's so divisive. It's the tip of the iceberg I fear and many many more people in the country will have their lives ruined. At what point might people who voted Brexit wake up and realise it may not be a good idea.

I honestly think now some people have got the mentality that, well I voted leave in the referendum, so it must be a good idea. Even though they'd have given precisely no shits about leaving Europe say 5 years beforehand.

Tsk that’s just project fear! Oh, no, shit, wait it’s true.

I heard on the news it was nothing to do with brexit. People just aren’t buying what that particular factory is making anymore.
well, not enough people.

I can't understand it unless you have a cushion of money to protect your family from the future if brexit occurs.

tomtom1999xx · 06/06/2019 23:18

There were car plant & factory closers before brexit was a twinkle in Boris Johnson’s eye.

Cinammoncake · 06/06/2019 23:24

nothing to do with Brexit Hmm right oh

whole automotive industry in the UK going down the toilet since Brexit and that's all just a coincidence

The plant made engines for Jaguar Land Rover. That contract finishes in 2020 iirc.

Contraceptionismyfriend · 07/06/2019 00:07

The Bridgend closure has nothing to do with Brexit. Anyone who knows the place knows it's was run into the ground by shitty management before Brexit.

Ford have also shut their Bordeaux plant so I reckon the "nothing to do with Brexit" line might be right (I voted "remain" BTW).
