Brexit Car-Tastrophe!

[Gromit]

In what it called "an extraordinary month", the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said only 70,971 cars rolled off production lines, down 44.5%.

Mike Hawes, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders chief executive said "Prolonged instability has done untold damage, with the fear of 'no deal' holding back progress, causing investment to stall, jobs to be lost and undermining our global reputation."

"Swindon has been running at half capacity for several years."

Gawd, has Brexit been going on that long then?

Or have you just undermined your OP?

There are many factors affecting car sales the biggest of course being the demonisation of oil burners across Europe. No doubt the uncertainty over Brexit has not helped but blame those trying to thwart Brexit rather than those that voted for it, the remoaners are the ones delaying it.

****The cars made in Swindon were for the UK and Europe market. The problem is they are crrap and no one wanted them. Brexit was the final nail, but Honda have been declining for 15 years.****

You seem to be in agreement that Pulling out of Swindon wasn’t to do with Brexit. Well done for at last realising not everything is the fault of Brexit.

Didn't some manufacturers have an early shut down, hence less cars being produced.

You don't know much about cars do you, Gromit.
