///ajd actually voted Conservative.
With delivering Brexit being the flagship in the manifesto.

Wasn’t there a political party available more in line with his EU views?
I have never said how I voted.

I’ll tell you what, if you, sid, tam etc. admit you have voted UKIP in the past, I might tell you how I voted.

That’s fair I think.

And that is the problem with you.


If someone gives you something.... you MIGHT give something back.
And you think it is fair?

Even if you did say how you voted - given your propensity to be economic with the truth on these threads - I wouldn't believe you.

All of the investment announcements over the last two years must have escaped your notice.
They’ll be for nought if the £80Bn investment in next five years is not made.

That will be curtains for UK JLRs electric future. According to JLR.

Why don’t you bet me £500 you know better than JLR. Give us all (another) laugh.
You misunderstood - All inward UK investments,

Trying to persuade you to put your money where your mouth is - is clearly fruitless.

Why was getting into bed with the Tories so bad when you're then willing to vote Tory?

The logic on display here at times is remarkable isn’t it.

Anyway thanks for the replies so far; the real prize is to hear from tam, dd and of course sid. sorry to hear you won’t believe me anyway tam, does make one wonder why you keep asking.

Nevertheless, if Sid confesses to a previous UKIP dalliance at the voting box, I really then might confess to my voting history which fascinates you all so!

Not sure what I misunderstood. Previous inward investments are all good, but this is a big one that will dwarf those before, and most critically, probably decide the future of JLR prod in the UK.

The others don’t counter this one - that’s not how it works. Or perhaps you think it does - would be very good to hear you explain that.

Cable seems to have your knack for reinterpreting other people's words. The only person who seems to have used the word 'untenable' is Cable.

JLR themselves said that they would have to "change their spending profile" in response to difficult trading conditions. No surprise there. But no, that's not the same as their position in the UK being untenable, is it?

Cable, Vince Cable, that pillar of integrity and proven great judge of people's characters?
You're 'avin a bubble.

JLR boss Ralph Speth said - and this is a direct quote - “If I’m forced to go out because we don’t have the right deal, then we have to close plants here in the UK and it will be very, very sad.”

Clear enough for you, or does he actually need to come around your house and drill it into your skulls?

He’ll need an SDS, obviously. wink

If it was the right move to make they'd be doing it now, regardless, rather than wait.

If we leave with a bad deal and they've hung around it would be too late to sort and they'd be stuffed.

If they move now and we stay - and their various claims are correct - then they're still OK, complete with shiny new plant and cheaper workers.

So logic suggests that if they're aren't already in the process of relocating plants then the statement is actually meaningless. Either the numbers aren't as bad as they imply or the value of the existing plant, 'UK made' aspect and so on means it'd be worth sticking around in spite of any changes.
