The staunchly pro soft Brexit (= remain) BBC gleefully led on the "news" that BAe "might" leave the UK or the wings might be built elsewhere but that's not what their spokesperson actually said is it? After we leave the wings will still be EASA compliant and we already have a trusted trader scheme to allow seamless border transfers. The lady also stated that the workforce was the most productive in the network. Airbus have enough to worry about with, for example, the lack of 380 sales so are unlikely to contemplate the mammoth task of relocating the wing plants to mainland Europe. Businesses do not like uncertainty but, as nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, this is unavoidable. To all remoaners I would just like to remind you that the largest vote in our history came out as a vote to leave the EU and that is hard brexit. We have an extremely mature system of government which served us well until Heath handed us over to the anti democratic EU. We also have an excellent judicial system which does not need any interference from the EU. The best interests of the UK will be served if we get on with our withdrawal, accept the result of the referendum and remember what we are capable of. We may no longer be what we once were but we are more than capable of running our own affairs.
