Dunno. Lower wages and lower production costs generally. Probably.
And why do you think they have lower costs? Do you think it is because the employees all enjoy the same benefits that an EU employee would enjoy?

I do, however think that the video of Mr Bloom does suggest that the bank is using our money rather than money from its own investments..No?
Of course he does. Would you expect anything less from Mr Impartial himself? The daft thing is, you hang on every word he says doncha Corgi. Now get yerself off to bed with your pet doll.

So you want to hamper the economy with regulations that make the UK an unviable investment in manufacturing but you are quite happy to send these manufacturing jobs outside of the EU?
Nope. Doesn't make me happy.

Southampton was never going to be able to produce on the same level as the Turkish plant. It's massive and employs thousands. It was a great investment opportunity for any bank.

The same reasoning applies to firms like Tata and countries like China and India.

Well it must make you happy because you are the kind of person who supports deliberately hampering local jobs to send them abroad just to suit your ideals....If you were a race horse owner, you are the kind of guy who would bet on another horse and chop the leg off your own

Night, night.
 
Like the USA, India and China?

A race to the bottom, can't wait for more sweatshop manufacturers to setup. The minimum wage will destroy jobs, no it didn;t. The amount of neo liberal claptrap economics spouted by some is unreal.

The minimum wage set the rate... Higher paid manual jobs bacame minimum wage work, and jobs that ordinarily weren't worth doing such as jobs in coffe bars also were minimum rate.... It is almost communist
 
FB its clear you have a very rudimentary understanding of the issues. Have a read of this to get some idea what factors are considered when it comes to locating premises to manufacture.

What you think is inefficient is based simply on distance, when you don't know what other factors come into consideration.
Can it really be efficient to produce a bumper in Eastern Europe, ship it to Crewe, then to Germany , then back to Crewe? People in Crewe could be trained in producing the finished article within a few miles of the RR/ Bentley site, and would ultimately be more efficient than transporting just one part of a car, thousands of miles before it's finally put on a car. Quite honestly, I'm astounded at the way the EU wastes money on such a simple thing as a car bumper. When you look at other things manufactured in a similar way, the EU must be wasting £billions each month... But what the heck, it's keeping Polish lorry drivers in a job . Ahh I see, it's a job creation scheme... Pity the EU forgot about unemployment here in the UK.

(perhaps they base their manufacturing policies on the EU Parliament?? They move from Brussels every month to Strasbourg at a cost of "200 million Euro's per year) Inefficiency in action.

Another issue is the paint used. The environmentaly freindly paint as used on modern cars does not give the required finish on Bentleys, and this paint must be used on all cars... However the required pain can be used to repair cars and so the cars are painted at Crewe in water based paint and then sent to Germany to be repaired with the required paint (The spraybooths are in Germany) and then sent back to Crewe to be assembled.... Many of the trucks are Czech as a lot of minor components are made in a Skoda plant..
 
most employers who want to get round minimum wage, make you self employed.

You then price per job and unless you are a machine end up, running about flat out just to make £10 p/h

I'm astounded when RWR Europhobes blame the EU for everything when it's actually not the fault of the EU.
Perhaps you are suggesting that the benefits of the single market and the free movement of goods and people should be revoked by the EU so that the UK can benefit better from a more restricted Europe?

And this is the fault of the EU?
These are economic decisions made by the car manufacturers. I'm sure they will do what is best for their profits.
