    No idea. Mind you, a squirrel on a skateboard can attract millions of hits on the internet these days.

    It won’t be long until the rate of 4chan and reddit start signing it to try and make it look like it’s all illegitimate signatures, mark my words. It won’t be many but enough to cause plausible deniability for the pro cliff edge brixteers.

    The utterly vile Julia Hartley-Brewer has started. And for the avoidance of doubt, she's not vile because she's doing this, she's just a terrible person.

    She comes across as pretty stupid too, I don’t get why someone to be that vile tbh.

    Not one person has said that yet, I’m willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt that they voted for legitimate real reasons but not seen one yet.

    The thing is immigration will need to be maintained it’ll just be non EU immigration. I don’t care where immigrants come from myself but I imagine anyone who voted for fewer “brown people” might be in for a shock.

    On Monday we "release" 139 staff, 100% entirely related to Brexit as the customer has rewritten their contracts and they now cite "must be made within the EU". If 52% of those people voted leave, they basically voted for their own redundancy.

    Over the next 5 years another 600 will follow, as the company moves it's manufacturing from UK to Eastern Europe. Approximately 70% of our product is Exported to the EU and most of those customers have issued an ultimatum, that they will not renew their contracts unless the company moved to within the EU.

    The company has been in the UK 30 years, the current year will be our most successful, as since 2008 we've managed to quadruple turnover. All of that will be in vain within 36 months.

    Diesel, electrification and Japan trade agreement all contribute but Brexit has been the catalyst and a path for the customers to turn the screw. Currently we're paying assurances, freights premiums, storage premiums, component interest and stock builds to the customer at the rate of around £60k per day.

    We have 5 major customers. Honda have declared they are leaving in 2021, our French & one German customer are not renewing their contracts after April 2020. Our UK customers sales are currently around 35% of forecast and we're currently renegotiating with our second German customer, for their contracts due in 2021.

    I have previously fought this off both in 2007 & 2011, this time it's a done deal. I've got no fight left in me.

    Me, I've been offered the job of setting up the new factory & transferring the manufacturing to the EU. That will see me through to retirement. The other 750 people plus the supply chain employees, will need to hope that Brexit reverses their fortunes.

    That’s terrible, so many people out of a job over nothing. Those people didn’t vote to lose their job, they were coerced with false promise and some nonsense about taking back control even though we already have control.

    They won’t be the last to suffer because of it either. Good to know you didn’t lose your job though Des

    Re: Stay in the EU petition

    Over 3.5 million signatures.

    Highest signed petition was a couple of years ago (again related to Brexit) and that got to just over 4 million.

    It's ok for me but telling people they don't have a job is the shittiest thing in business, especially when you've personally employed many of them and they've relocated families & lives for the job. It's always much easier to manage a business on the up than it is on a down.

    Terrible situation be in. I was made redundant once and was awful but I took the opportunity to totally change my lifestyle for the better.
    I realise your not being made redundant yourself Des. but why don't you jack it all in if the job is making you so unhappy?

    I've only got a few years left before I retire, I'm not moving now, if they want to get rid of me now they're have to pay for the redundancy or forced early retirement. Besides, I'm not going to give up on my people, I'll fight for every one of them, to ensure they get the best deals or transfers.

    Wales may well be a country that benefits, as it has large rural areas surrounded by sea and natural beauty .

    Instead of farmers having to be subsided to not farm and fisherman abiding by quotas , we may see a flourish of farming in food ,sheep etc that leads to local jobs , increased in localised food production, and supply ,if we have a strength it's in our land.

    I've seen at first hand the Kinnock gravy train, it was both disturbing and disappointing.

    I was shocked how socialist could be so near the class divide.

    Which laws have been dictated to us? The UK has voted on all EU laws. Might have lost a few times but that's what happens in a democracy - there are great swathes of the UK who don't get the policies they want (or need) from the UK government.

    Control our borders? I'll count that as a vote for keep the brown fellas out.
