Another one bites the dust...

Ford said it had nowt to do with Brexit

Blame the greens and all the other environmental bell ends who are anti combustion engine

They should all be happy that car engines will no longer be made in the UK

Ford are laying off workers in Germany as well

Probably circle the wagons, bring (dwindling) production back to 'Murca, and fook the planet......
 
is it Brexit causing this?
If the nutter no-deal quitters were to get their way, yes.....

"Ford did not blame Brexit for its cost-cutting plans but has said a no-deal scenario could make matters worse. It said leaving the EU without a deal would result in costs of $500m to $1bn during 2019 alone, adding to a series of stark warnings from major car firms over potential disruption to British manufacturing."

Unsustainable debt? well possibly but better than the EU average.
Really?

I thought 87% was greater than 83%, but I guess you learn something every day :rolleyes:

Only one country in the EU is able to feed itself. France.
Ireland and Austria top France in food security...
But it doesn't matter so much in the EU does it.
Because they have what we might not have soon - namely free movement of goods!

Dwindling resources? I presume you mean oil, apart from that I'm sure it won't have escaped your notice that Great Britain is quite small.
Well quitters don't understand that the UK is small and has few resources of it's own :rolleyes:

They forget that in the past we purloined our resources from the 'empire'.
I wonder if the 'empire' countries will remember those times as fondly when it comes to trading their resources post Brexit?

Sold of all it's assets, well that's complicated but is possibly best measured by NIIP which is currently negative, perversely made less negative by the post benefit devaluation of the pound. Still not as bad as Spain, Greece, France or Ireland.
I don't know where you get your figures from, because...

The IMF looked at the assets and liabilities of 31 countries and found the UK was in a worse position than every other country apart from Portugal.

"Rather than looking at each country’s debt and the deficit – a government’s income minus its expenditure – the IMF’s approach takes into account the benefit of assets such as publicly owned corporations and natural resources. These figures more closely resemble a company’s balance sheet...

The IMF’s report takes particular aim at the privatisation of public assets, the benefits of which it says are often merely an “illusion”.
 
Ford mentioned changing consumer demand and cost issues.

These cost issues will only exacerbate under a no Deal Brexit.

There are headwinds hitting the auto industry due to technology and changing demand, why add another issue of cost?
 
you don't believe in anthropogenic climate change.

So what caused the Thames to freeze over for the annual frost fairs "held between 1600 and 1814, it was not uncommon for the River Thames to freeze over for up to two months at time" was that climate change?

What's wrong with you?
