This is a sad week for Europe, but this is not the end of our story. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ช๐บ
As our former MEP @AlynSmith once said: "I am not asking you to solve our domestic discussions. I am asking you to leave a light on so we can find our way home"

#Brexit
I find it amazing that the UK, an island off mainland europe, managed to build up car manufacturing to the point where it rivalled Germany in 2016.
That was pretty good going for the UK.
Then the Brexit vote hit and killed it.
@MattCJBaker@Eddystone506@CaptainSwing666 The decline of the British car industry came in two Brexit stages.
1. Uncertainty post-referendum weakened the industry
2. Trade arrangements that replaced EU membership did lasting damage.

@andoniAmu "Trade barriers have been a notable factor in the challenges faced by the automotive sector since 2019"
They are requesting frictionless trade and the single market for energy.
@SaveLBRuT People saying things like that are only online now.
The choice of what to do about that is yours really.
I wouldn't stick to it too long though because it isn't healthy but if it is lodged in your subconscious then you maybe stuck with it.
@Ksec15@CaptainSwing666@MattCJBaker@Eddystone506 Left wing Brexit, nostalgia types are stuck in the 1970's
Right wing Brexit, nostalgia types are stuck in the 1950s and see this ๐ฝ
It is 2026 now.
@Ksec15@CaptainSwing666@MattCJBaker@Eddystone506 You are stuck in the 1970s
Honda said:
"With 35% of exports from our Swindon factory exported to the EU, and 40% of the components used to build cars at Swindon imported from EU27 suppliers, frictionless, tariff free access to the Single Market and Customs Union is vital"
@jiveboy_4u I got the "rivalled Germany in 2016" wrong.
The graph and article are correct.
The reason of the UK leaving the single market and customs are correct.
The fault being Brexit is correct.
So, no.
@WarrenArend@MattCJBaker@Eddystone506@CaptainSwing666 Sorry to hear that.
Turkey can't apply for EU grants because it is not a member state.
Whoever told you it was due to EU grants was talking nonsense
Turkey though have a customs union with the EU.
Maybe that was the reason. ๐โโ๏ธ
@RicardoDaLepp@dougan_dav24341@andoniAmu It appears to be most to be honest.
However, all Brexit voters have zero empathy towards the situation they created for EU citizens, which is also an example of bigotry.
@RicardoDaLepp@dougan_dav24341@andoniAmu The correct term is xenophobia
Having friends from Romania was a real eye opener to how Brexit supporters treated them
You should be ashamed of yourself.

@dougan_dav24341@andoniAmu I didn't trash the UK vehicle manufecturing because I didn't like foreigners and am now online in desperate attempt to divert attention to something else.
Everyone can clearly see who is to blame here David.
