Of Course Brexit is Working

Which is why the first post-Brexit cars are going to be German Audis...

WTF happened to British manufacturing?

The unions killed it off.
Though Audi seems apt for a gang of crooks.

It was destroyed long before Brexit, by a series of political parties who were more interested in communistic wealth redistribution and donating to other countries than investing in our own people and businesses.

Nothing to do with wealth distribution (the Germans do that and are still a successful economy), it was Mrs T who destroyed the industrial base i.e. her political opponents base, threw in a few sweeteners (right to buy etc) and here we are over 40 years later and the whole of the north are voting tory.

Far more accurate that some others but to some extent the industrial base destroyed itself often by seeing competition from other countries impossible to beat. ICI and some other biggies are a good example of that, Their CEO's.

Commies!

Lol. Germany is a great example of a strong mixed economy with an outstanding industrial based economy exporting everywhere AND high personal taxation, with a health service and education system that work. The politicisation of education and NHS in this country by both leading parties over the last 40 years is nothing short of disgraceful, quite apart from our (non existent) industrial development policies. Brexhit is an opportunity to nurture and support british industries like farming and fishing and the government either does nothing (delays for political reasons) - or goes on about the importance of competition and does pathetic deals with Australia and NZ.

Germany is a good example of gaining wealth by relying on others for there defence and not dipping there hands in there pockets



Basically spongers

Really? Where did you read that? In the Daily Mail? The previous ministerial cars (Jaguars) were built in the UK and the armour plating work was done here, as well. So what you seem to be saying is that in the past 3 or 4 years or so since the last cars were supplied, the unions have killed off British industry. Like to try again?

So, what you are saying is that strikes in the 1970s are the reason why British industry can, in 2022 - some 45 years later, no longer manufacture armoured limos for HMG, while they were capable of building them less than 5 years ago. Did Red Robbo have a Tardis, or something, so that he could travel through time?

For those whi didn't get it, the question was basically what has happened in the last few years which means HMG can no longer source suitable cars in the UK?
