John52 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Only problem is will there be any factories left in England Another one going now; from the ft; 'BASF, the German chemicals group, is closing a UK plant and moving the work to France despite receiving £1bn from the Bank of England’s Covid Corporate Financing Facility — the biggest single company payout. Shadow business secretary Ed Miliband condemned the move. “It appears the government has shelled out £1bn in taxpayers’ money with no questions asked. Taxpayers and workers in Teesside will rightly see this as economic negligence on the part of government,” he told the Financial Times. “Why did the government not get guarantees about employment for such a large sum of support? Did they have any discussions with the company on these issues? The business secretary must explain. Seems BoJo didn't bother to get any guarantees from these companies before giving them our money. Now we have to borrow the money instead of them So they can take our money, pay it to themselves in dividends, and move to the EU Nice one BoJo *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently its necessary to point out a 'UK business' could be a car factory or a window cleaner and that the 5% will tend to be the big businesses employing thousands Many of the small businesses will depend on the big businesses and follow them You can keep the rest - if they want to stay *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
