Workers blame Brexit for demise of Honda's Swindon plant

Its all over Europe people just aren't buying diesels because of the new emissions laws there also not buying new cars its got nothing 2 do with Brexit

Swindon was one of the first areas in the country to declare a referendum result, which saw 61,745 (54.7%) vote to leave. Now it’s time to welcome the chlorinated chickens as they come to roost.

Yep!

Any thing to say on this .Mr Digby Jknes ?

Swindon and Wiltshire voted LeaveMeansLeave now this is what you wanted, I hope you're happy. No, really.

LeightonAndrews 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂deluded and supported by idiotsLeaveMeansLeave

Yes this is a tragedy for many, many families. However we are constantly told people knew what they were voting for... they must now face the consequences of their actions.

Yet Swindon & Wiltshire voted LEAVE in Brexit. Would a second referendum have a different result?

Wales voted for Brexit, and regardless of what Honda management says, Brexit has an impact

Even if would be because of Brexit, there is a dangerous argument used by the remainder: ' Let's forget democracy because it's making damages to the economy' Profits before democracy. This is 100% neoliberal thinking

Of course brexit , what else? StopBrexit

They know the truth and Brexiters such as Mogg, May, Corbyn et al should no longer get away with their lies

Never a job lost in this country before Brexit. Can anyone confirm this ?

How many people was asked to use the term workers? Honda

Didn’t Swindon vote to leave 🙄

Just wait Toyota will be next with Brexit there's no reason to manufacture in the UK.

And they should know

UK Government

Project fear again raises it's ugly head. Honda themselves have said it's not.

/ Well Guys you voted Brexit without a thought about your employment?

Brexiteer voters blame Brexit for losing their job. It's almost fucking hilarious to watch this Purge affect those who voted for it.

ORourkeGerry to put honda in context thats the size of the total uk fishing industry in a single factory

It’s not about the jobs and money and material things. It’s about independence. The freedom not to have a job. The freedom to be poor. The freedom to live off the government. That’s what makes the UK great. Don Rump.

If this actually did have anything to do with Brexit, still cheaper to pay the workers a million quid each and keep a vote to boot out who makes your laws..

Swindon very sadly voted for this

UtterBollocks

Thanks Boris

Len McCluskley will now look after them no doubt, he is such a keen Brexiteer.

And how many voted for Brexit I wonder?

Awkward...

Here we go. Honda will say it’s partly because of Brexit. The workers say it’s because of Brexit. People on the internet though, they know it’s nothing to do with Brexit.

The Brexit Fairyland Dream is beginning to unravel.

Has the Unite man got McCluskey on the phone? Jobs first Brixit etc..

Nissan...Ford...Honda...who's the next victim of the Brexit bubble? And I bet if Rees-Mogg and his cronies could have prevented news of this leaking out before March 29 they would. In fact come to think of it, I wonder how many such closures will be conveniently declared in April

Nah......couldn't possibly be Brexit...….could it?

How many of them voted for Brexit ? That’s called karma

Wait till they find out the other promise in the Conservative manifesto, seeing as they are so keen on them sticking to it... the continued rollout of universal credit. Enjoy, turkeys!

Maybe the demise of the Diesel engine and new EV technology may also have a part theworldischanging

Largely, one suspects, because the town's two (Tory) MPs very quickly came out to say it wasn't...

They’re wrong, it’s more to do with the EU emissions targets and FTA with Japan.

That would be the Brexit that many/ most of them voted for.

Honda's Turkey factory will also close as all European market production is consolidated to Japan where company is based. Has Brexit affected Turkey too?

At the least the old racists got to have some fun.

Japan/EU trade deal likely the biggest factor in Honda moveSky's economics editor says Brexit consequences, rather than Brexit itself, have driven Honda's looming exit from Swindon. EU done a loss-making deal with Honda purely to try to screw UK? It won't work. Lets wait for the official statement from Honda so Brexiters can disagree with that, instead of Brexiters disagreeing with Sky’s economic analysis here. 'Honda are clear this is based on global trends and not Brexit, as all European market production will consolidate in Japan in 2021.'
