Freggyragh Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 15B Euros - that’s all they have to find? It’s hardly a bump in the road compared to what the U.K. will have to find. Plus the big players will get to shape the market and regulations without any political interference from the newly marginalised lobbyists representing U.K. companies’ interests. I’m meeting people in business every week who are talking about whole industries being wiped out by Brexit - it’s very sad to see. Without playing games with partisan contributors like Woodyfacts, is anyone in any business actually seeing any golden opportunities or exciting prospects - I get that this was more about English nationalism than business opportunities (duh!), but can anyone who actually employs people see any kind of upside? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (Unilever) are moving different parts of their operation elsewhere in the UK and part to Germany. Whether it is a result of Brexit is debatable, personally I suspect they have looked at operational efficiency and would have done it regardless of Brexit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyWolf Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Every busines that’s struggling will blame it on brexit but businesses come and go, the big high street shops are fighting for a ever decreasing market with the internet shopping breaking there backs along with ridiculously high rents. A lot of some of the larger companies employ cheap european labour on minimum wages of course they don’t want brexit and Merkel isn’t the force she was and the undeniable unsavoury fact is the nationalists or the far right parties are gaining ground throughout Europe, Europe has to change too before its to late.

Apologies, of course it's Colman's mustard and they are closing their iconic factory in Norwich. I'm pretty sure you knew what was meant, surely you aren't that pedantic.

As I said I personally don't think the closure has anything to do with Brexit. It remains a fact that they are closing the factory though, feel free to explain how any of that is #fakenews. I would agree that Richard was appearing to put a negative Brexit slant on it, I am not.

How exactly is any of what I've said (me not Richard, I generally don't agree with him) constitute fakenews? I'll give you a clue, none of it does.
