I can understand the synergies...no wonder the proliferation in recalls of vehicles since eg Toyota/Renault/Citroen, VW/Seat, etc. Nearly forgot the seat belt palava where the manufacturer is the sole provider.

It makes sense to have a manufacturing presence here in the UK if you sell enough cars in Britain, Honda made 160000 cars at their Swindon factory but sold only 10% or 16000 civics here
That must be one of the lowest domestic take ups of any mainstream model anywhere in the world.
If we end up with a no deal Brexit I will not be suprised if Ford and others don't once again make cars here

Did that make the 6pm news or is as usual with the BBC, "bad news that can be blamed on Brexit = headline news, good news = bury it"?

The EU (post 'Brexit') is just a handful of meaningful countries of political and economic importance eg Germany, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain - the rest are mainly hangers-on; the outside world is huge esp China, and the Asia markets. Thus, why the disinformation and disingenuousness about 'Brexit'?

Have faith: Painful for a short period, but will be ok or better later on.
