Probably as much to do with it as them also selling off their Moroccan business. :roll:

How as a Sovereign state do we complain about Japan closing a Honda plant, Canada selling off a NI factory etc etc? (Just watching the news, an 88m long wind turbine blade is pretty impressive).

Do we not have an industrial strategy and how to be carbon neutral by 2050?
