Oh look. Why Honda is set to shut its Swindon factory - written by people who actually *know* about the car industry. Spoiler alert: they make diesel cars at that factory & no one wants to buy them anymore.https://www.autocar.co.uk/opinion/industry/opinion-why-honda-set-shut-its-swindon-factory …

The article that says Brexit uncertainty is undoubtedly a factor in their decision. That article?

I’ve read the article. The opening question, on whether Brexit has an impact on the decision, “almost certainly“ is the answer. Diesel only constitutes a small part of manufacturing. This is a better explanationhttps://twitter.com/femi_sorry/status/1097548493491720195?s=21 …

Yes and the E.U. coincidentally did a bilateral Japan trade agreement just as we approach Brexit day.....

I read it, it says that Brexit uncertainty is almost certainly a factor in Honda’s decision. Are we just ignoring that, then?

No! You know more than Honda and the people who work there... Sometimes it's better to admit and say 'I don't know'

They no longer build diesels as they are global hub for civic and no longer build crv. Up to recently they were building 790 cars per day. Only 120 were diesels , and only built for 9 mths to meet demands. A large chunk of 790 for usa. Ive worked there 14yrs. So well informed.

Honda,like many others, does NOT yet have a viable, lower cost, affordable to the masses battery/ electric car to significant make up for the immediate &!ANTICIPATED future drop in Diesel (internal combustion) engine cars. Used battery cars need new batteries & are unviable!

It’s an opinion piece by someone with 1500 followers on twitter with absolutely no insight into Brexit you’re a fucking disgrace

Indeed. And you may know less that you think. Brexit has not helped a difficult position for Honda or the industry and makes it easier to go from the U.K. Our looming isolation from the world and our emerging role as Europe’s comedy parliament will not be helping.....

From the article. “Japan recently agreed a trade deal that effectively removes tariffs on Japanese-built cars imported into Europe.” Which would have included the UK. It won’t now. The company also stated Brexit as an issue.

Many authors know more than you about nearly everything (except ruthless self promotion) but you constantly challenge them when they upset your world view. Why do you expect people to behave as you typically don't?

You clearly didn't read the article properly. It states there's many factors, diesel being 1 yes, but also brexit, America, etc. So your entire tweet is to be frank at best bias at worse completely incorrect.
