British cars do have a reputation for being poorly built, including sports cars.

Innovative - Yep
Fast - Yep
Sexy - Oh yes
Well built -  Nah

[Reg Smeeton]

The reason those industries failed were because they weren’t efficient, we were ‘the sick man of Europe’ because of strikes and other countries - mainly Japan - produced a better product for less money.

Always remember hearing about never buying a British made car which came off the production line on a Friday cos the majority of workers were already in prime weekend mode.

For sure industrial relations didn't help, but ultimately the car industry failed because of management and ownership decisions, poor design and lack of investment.

You can see the same has happened to Honda, with not a day on strike.

The idea that all these industries failed because of strikes is laughable in its patheticness.... the reality is somewhat different.

Look at Swindon's leading industries like the Railways, like Garrard, like Plessey.... all failed, all had first class product all had first class workers.

Equally, as is your assertion that industries were full of first class workers.

You can still find ex Railway, Garrard and Plessey workers in Swindon.... I suggest you go and tell them they weren't part of a first class workforce.

In fact we've a couple of ex Works men on here.....

Have you stopped talking about the car Industry now then

I'll take that as a yes.

Big Nigel has confirmed that he has bottled it.

Should ensure a Tory majority

It makes sense.... part of the Tories lurch towrds the far right was to nullify Farage.  Pesumably now he'll get a peerage or some other sinecure

Excellent news all round.

[Ardiles]

Game over.  Farage has handed the election to Johnson with that move.  In a parallel universe somewhere, Labour would respond to this move by unambiguously coming out for Remain in their manifesto and consolidate the Remain vote.  But we're stuck with this one, sadly.  Corbyn will miserably stick to his guns and then miserably slink off in to retirement 5 weeks from now when Labour are punished for his indecision at the polls.

Five more years of Johnson on their way.  Goodbye Scotland.  Goodbye NHS.

Or he's done a deal with Johnson.

BBC caught using an old clip of Boris that doesn't make him look like a total fucking retard.

Peerage or US Ambassador (or both). And probably a decent side bung from Johnson's Russian mates too

Not to mention Goodbye to the Conservative Party as we know it. Get used instead to the English Nationalist Party
