You keep trying to put a spin on things. I’ll break it down for you. Make it nice and easy. I don’t care if you’re left, right or centre, I believe in freedom of speech. I also believe big firms are right to put in guidelines as to what you can and can’t say on social media. Especially with organisations like the BBC. If linekar has broken his agreement and refuses to apologise then the BBC have no other option. If theBBC have fucked up then lineker needs to Sue them Mate, I made the point that you were getting in a bit of twist. You can keep posting if you wish, but all you're doing is showing us how many different opinions you expressed since this all began. Which only proves my point. As I said earlier, it's good that you got there by Sunday 👍 I've changed my mind on here before after having discussions, it's no bad thing. Can we leave it there now ?

I know you’re desperate for the last word as per, and you can continue to put your spin on it, but my post on sat morning and throughout have shown I’ve been slap bang in the middle of all this and my views are still the same.

China’s BYD blames Brexit as it rules out UK for first electric car plant in Europe https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/mar/12/china-byd-blames-brexit-as-it-rules-out-uk-for-first-european-car-plant “As an investor we want a country to be stable,” said Michael Shu, BYD’s European president, speaking to the Financial Times. “To open a factory is a decision for decades. Without Brexit, maybe. But after Brexit, we don’t understand what happened.” “The UK doesn’t have a very good solution,” said Shu. “Even on the long list we didn’t have the UK.” I will bet they go to Poland or Hungary.... Its all about cheap Labour.... Thankfully we make the real deal.. https://www.thedefensepost.com/2023/02/24/bae-systems-record-military-orders/ Funny you only post negatives.. what a bell end!!

Traf Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Grey had a personal "feud" with another poster and they knew each other from way back. Grey left (IMO) because he was pissed off with loads of gullibles believing every word the Walter Mitty character said and because Grey got stick from some quarters for calling the liar out. He wasn't hounded out, he just got pissed off with the forum. Grey's a decent sort and anyone who knows him will tell you that he's made of stronger stuff than being hounded off an internet forum.

While we need to get our act together regarding car manufacturing.. ultimately this isn't the manufacturing market the UK needs to be targeting. The BAE business is the real deal, let the likes of Hungary/Poland take the manufacturing at the lower end of the market.

The BAE business is the real deal, let the likes of Hungary/Poland take the manufacturing at the lower end of the market. Maybe, I personally think they'll go with setting something up in Germany. All the battery and battery/energy storage manufacturers we deal with are setting up in Germany at the minute, and in the main they say it's because of the advanced work force and infrastructure. Either way, we'll soon find out, it's a shame that at the minute we're not even under consideration. I agree that we should be targeting high end manufacturing, but there's no reason we couldn't/shouldn't be looking at targeting both "high end" also "low end fulfilment" manufacturing. Without knowing the profit margins, supply chains (local or not?!?) and employment levels involved, I couldn't tell you which of the deals, BAE or BYD is actually better for the economy......which is why I'd like us to be able to do both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk just took him at face value till it all started to unravel. I and many others had no idea how deep he was in with it all. No idea how Grey kept his cool with the stuff he said about him. Fair play to him, hes a sound guy and like you say was never hounded out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
