    Default Brexit crushes UK car production

    Brexit: UK car production plunges amid 'untold damage' of EU leave date chaos

    April manufacturing fell 44.5% as factories shut down for an EU exit that never came

    Well now- that's an unexpected bonus that few people will recognize.
    The automobile industries are responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths over the years- yes, that's hundreds of millions- and more pollution nobody needs anyway .

    Electric ? Forget it. A twitch in the tail of a dying monster. The problem should not be how to continue making cars- but how to do without them.

    Still- for those supportive of pollution, sickness and death- the failure of Brexit has dealt you a bum hand.

    Ford Bridgend: Closure fears for town's engine plant

    Ford Europe has called union leaders from Bridgend's engine plant to its Essex headquarters on Thursday.

    There are renewed concerns for the factory's future - it opened nearly 40 years ago and employs 1,700 workers.

    The GMB union said it fears the news could "mean disaster" for the plant and the community at large.

    Ford said it would not comment on speculation and Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said he was in ongoing dialogue with the company.

    It comes just months after Ford said it was cutting its Welsh workforce by 1,000, with 370 going in a first phase.

    The UK's last chance to avoid poverty and isolation comes this week when its parliament has an opportunity to block its unelected and tyrannical leadership.
