another march, this one was demanding saving jobs by nationalising a Japanese owned car plant

note sure which march was more pathetic, the Farage Death March or this one

actually the Farage one still takes the biscuit but the absolute state of Swindon car plant workers marching to save their jobs by calling on the UK govt to nationalise a foreign-owned car plant is yet another example of peak Brexit stupidity imo

Dunno. I would crawl on my belly all the way to London if I thought it would save my job (& perhaps my marriage) and keep bread on the table.
It’s a thing called desperation @Bomber_Harris

Anyway, as an aside, the Welsh “Government” are happy to have a bash a running things themselves. For example, they run Cardiff airport and have recently taken over the trains. No doubt they have in mind further power grabs too

Can quite easily see the Swindon decision being reversed if the Japenese find out they have a back door entrance into the USA market via a new trade deal with the USA. Only reason why the plant is closing is the trade deal done between the EU and Japan which makes production outside of Japan pointless for the EU market.
