"I will list all the companies I think are leaving and blame it all on brexit".Originally Posted by Stolly
Trouble is that some of the companies listed are certainly not leaving because of brexit. The car industry is in serious trouble: Honda in particular. Even car plants in europe are closing and/or moving to turkey. Some are retrenching to japan now they can. So correlation is not cause.
Dyson is certainly not leaving because of brexit. So consider other causes. I can tell you for certainty some companies are leaving because of the prospect of Corbyn and Mcdonnels threat to steal part of the company and replace their boards with agitators. All companies will have a strategy to deal with the threat, they just wont want to upset the customers by saying so. Companies outside britain have international treaties that protect them from expropriation to allow safe investment here. Corbyns clear threat to return to the car industries to the 70s will certainly be weighing in on decisions. So blame it all on brexit, is more of project fear.
What trumps that is economic gravity. For as long as we import a lot more than we export, the net migration if there is any will be towards Britain in the form of company moves, expanded business and startups. Thats why we are still growing europe is not. Sure there will closures, but it is not the whole story.
I cannot understand why any vote for EU, considering the history of intransigence and ideologyto the point of self harm, deliberately prolonging uncertainty now harming them and us. It is why some of us want to leave. Hopelessly undermined by remainers. Now for project certainty. The impending collapse of the Euro. I cannot understand why any socialist can vote for the mass economic hardship the euro has clearly caused.
