I couldn't decide whether to post this here, or on the no-deal Brexit thread, but here we go. Surprised nobody has brought this up since the news broke.
Arch Brexit evangelist and Monaco tax-dodger Jim Ratcliffe has decided to build the Ineos Grenadier in France.
This is what he said last year “We have looked long and hard at possible manufacturing locations for Grenadier across the world with lots of good options to choose from. The decision to build in the UK is a significant expression of confidence in British manufacturing, which has always been at the heart of what Ineos stands for. Our preference is to build it in the UK.
“We’d like to retain the Britishness and have a bit of passion about UK manufacturing,” he told Sun readers at the time. “We believe that Britain can produce something as reliable as Germany or Japan if we do it well.”
How about you put your money where your mouth is Jim ?
My sincere sympathy to the people of Bridgend who were hoping to be building them, and have had their hopes dashed.
