Penny Farthing Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 3 hours ago, Mrs Roops said: Whilst the uncertainty of Brexit was a contributing factor to Honda's decision to leave, it was not *the* factor. The seeds to Swindon's fate was planted four years ago when Takahiro Hachigo was appointed as the new CEO and President of Honda. As is typical of most new CEOs, he undertook a root and branch review of the business. Honda's main issue was that its' manufacturing capacity far exceeded the volume of cars sold worldwide. The CEO was brutally honest with his assessment of the product development process which involved not only the designers and engineers but also the marketing and sales departments, the latter more fixated on short term needs. The development process was protracted and overly complex. The result was that Honda cars were designed by committee and as such were "uninspiring". Three years ago Honda slimmed down the product development team to the designers and engineers and undertook a retrenchment process to simplify manufacturing and uniformity of product unless a regional bloc was profitably producing cars to suit the demands of its locality. Swindon's fate was from then on sealed. There are are some new manufacturing facilities being set up the UK by three train builders .. CAF in South Wales near Newport, TALGO somewhere in Scotland and Siemens has plans to to build a factory on Humberside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And meanwhile the SMM reports lowest sales since 2008 and the future of Toyota looks decidely iffy. With cutbacks at Jaguar Landrover and Ford. Even Bentley is cutting production. The only stable piece of the jigsaw is Vauxhall Luton. The Brexit argument of passing it all over to other factors is as false as the rosy picture they painted of trade deals round the world which is more or less sown up by the big players including the EU and Japan. Or the continued harping on old GDP data from the first half of 2018. The fact is the UK is one quarter away from an official recession while the EU in general and some of its members is enjoying recovering growth much ahead of the UK.

How exactly are they relying on the Royal Navy with its inferior fleet to protect them? They're leagues ahead of us. They might not have an aircraft carrier, but they don't need one when they have no ambition to be a blue water navy and are focused on operations within eastern Asia. You've been watching Master and Commander again, haven't you? This isn't some Hearts of Oak era you're living in, the RN is a shadow of its former self. And do n't mention the merchant navy. We once had the largest in the world. Now nothing. And how many coastguard or RN vessels are there protecting our territorial waters? Less than half a dozen.

Bollox Read the linked article from one of Fleet Street most avid pro-remain cheerleaders. I presume you meant the SMMT reports and whilst you may be correct, again Brexit is a factor, but there are two underlying causes which is impacting on long term results. Firstly motor manufacturers are retrenching worldwide because of over capacity and secondly there is uncertainty over diesel engines and how governments will deal with pollution.

Guest Crab Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 In every EU trade deal from now on will be a secret codicile: Fuck Great Britain. And we asjed for it. The centre of Europe's econonic gravity is moving east since the 1990s. Only the dregs were coming to the UK in the first place. We are remote from the centre and have made ourselves even less likely to be included in any future global growth or technological changes.

I’m looking forward to the food tariff list being published later this week. 200% on Parma Ham will unleash a wave of middle class fury not seen since they stopped the free coffee at Waitrose. Standby for celebrity chefs weighing in on how to make do with powdered egg and tripe, while the ERG decamp to Leicestershire to bang on about the benefits of a Stilton and Cider based diet. I do hope the ration books have a blue cover. Evolution. Not necessarily a forward journey these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
