Is the British car industry going to die?

[SirGalahad]

That's the problem - the government is risking killing it!

Anyway, we rank about 11th in the world for car manufacturing, just in front of Iran and behind Mexico.

Who cares where we are heading we won't need cars we will all be travelling on Unicorns playing the harp and sipping wine from carafe's.

The good days are coming back.

No more bloody foreigners or bloody foreign cars. We need cars with real proper names - Smith, Johnson, Brown, Roberts - good and honest English names.

Electric cars are for coffee drinking tree hugging hippy Millennials, whats wrong with exhaust fumes? It puts hairs on your chest.

As I have previously stated
There are more car manufacturers in this country then any other country in the world

There's little value in assembling cars in this country. We do however design them, and that's where the value add is. Stamping them out is a bit of a mugs game.
