Haha! And you think one sodding factory compensates for the £80bn a year losses predicted by the OBR (4% og GDP) for the foreseeable future?

A shed to replace the old one. That's all. £40m worth of investment since 2003. Not the £250m you lied about. No new employees either. Meanwhile Honda in Swindon closed. Losing 3500 jobs. Elsewhere "Pig farmers lost an estimated £130m in the first half of the year, said Zoe Davies, chief executive of the National Pig Association, having just broken even last year. At least 40 of about 2,000 UK pig farmers registered with the Red Tractor assurance scheme have quit the industry this year".

Up and down the country, this is the same story. Be it pigs, arable or poultry. It is the slow but relentless closing down of UK businesses. And of them relocating abroad. Europe is open. Easy to cross borders. Move goods and trade. Whereas the UK has now put in place so many rules and regulations. And as to 'controlling our borders' the UK has yet to introduce checks on goods coming in. Did they tell you it would not be ready until July 2022 at the earliest. No wonder the UK is now seen as a backward, inward looking, insular country. No wonder so many skilled Europeans do not want to come back.

A post-Brexit fast-track visa scheme to attract Nobel Prize-winning scientists to the UK launched six months ago has produced absolutely no applications. Not a single one.

'The government has agreed to bend its post-Brexit immigration rules to help. 800 temporary visas were allocated in October for overseas butchers. But the length of the visa issuance process, along with vetting the overseas butchers, means they have yet to arrive, said Nick Allen, chief executive of the British Meat Processors Association.

What this means, as with the above. is a steady rowing back from Brexit. After barely a few months. Extra visas have also been offered to lorry drivers and veg processors. But as with the strawberry farm in Norfolk, virtually no one is taking up the offer. European farms are now picking up the slack. And will grow this stuff now. EU workers will simply go to Spain, Italy Holland instead of the UK.

But no extra employment.

And I wonder how much of that investment actually comes from the UK taxpayer as a bribe? (Just like Nissan)

It is a replacement shed, that's all. 'A spokeswoman for BMW said: “There is a programme of building works taking place at our Swindon site replacing ageing machinery and press line equipment, which we expect to be complete by the summer of 2021 .Despite the new building, BMW confirmed that it will not be creating any new jobs at the plant. '

You do realise people leave their employment and need replacing don't you? Please provide a link detailing the number of extra jobs created.

There was an interview with a British truck driver a few weeks ago and he said he conditions for truck drivers, such as the service stations, in mainland Europe were much better than in the UK so why would EU drivers take up that kind of temporary offer when they could find more enjoyable work in the 27 countries.

"Ben Raymond, 32, from Swindon, was part of National Action, a group which wanted to wage a "white Jihad" and race war."  You never know where these odious types can be found.
