Except the cycle cannot continue as it is stripping the planet of life.

What’s the solution then?

British Jobs for British people and all that

Because growth is all that matters.

Oh, Thor.

Just read Honda are quitting Britain next year, with the loss of 3,500 jobs in Swindon.
Because of Brexit, cars made here are not profitable. There will be tariffs, making them uncompetitive
Where on earth will 3½ thousand people get employment in a place like Swindon

And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe.
And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot;
And thereby hangs a tale.

AS YOU LIKE IT

Except Honda made it clear their closure is nothing to do with Brexit, but is to do with worldwide reduction in sales.

If it was due to Brexit, Honda would have moved production into an EU country

I don't think they made it that clear....

If you're a global manufacturer and deciding which plants your going to cut because of general sales reductions, you're going to take all factors into account when choosing which it is. There's no way Brexit is going to come out on the plus side of that calculation.

Minging wind and rain today

Hope you Brexit voters are happy, this is on you guys

Rest of europe is 32 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, apparently.

To quote from the article you linked to

The Japanese carmaker, which said earlier this week that the closure was “not a Brexit-related issue”

Think the link you posted suggests Honda did make it clear it was not Brexit related

Ha ha that's funny.

Not really funny tho, is it? Worrying for lots of reasons.

A bit of selective editing there old fruit, shall we have the full quote from that article....

The Japanese carmaker, which said earlier this week that the closure was “not a Brexit-related issue”, appeared to dilute its rhetoric after the Guardian presented it with details of what Swindon residents were told last year.

Excellent.

Everyone else looking forward to the season finale?

Increasingly resigned to no deal. They want to be seen to 'win' against the EU. You don't 'win' negotiations. So they'll walk and pin it on the EU.

Going by their track record over the last 9 months, have total faith in their ability to manage both a once century public health crisis and a once a century economic realignment simultaneously.

What is an Australian deal, exactly? Is this just the government's euphemism for no deal?

Yes, exactly that

It could easily just be called an Afghanistan Deal*. But they seem to prefer 'Australia' instead. It's a no-deal really.


*Actually not appropriate as the Afghan's have more favourable tariff deals with the EU than the Aussies.
