If the withdrawal/transition/political declaration DEAL is passed by the British and EU Parliaments then the transition period would end on December 31st 2020.
So perhaps Honda are planning for the possibility of ceasing production of finished cars in December 2020 and finally close the site in January 2022.
That time frame allows them to continue production for a few months if there is an extension.

CORRECTION.
The updated Honda news is they will close in 2021. So no plans to accomadate any delays to Brexit.

But I guess we're all sick of eating, too.

Fish fingers made in Germany, who knew?

All those Brexiters supporting the British fish finger industry need to change their diet!

Other fish fingers are made in UK - Sainsburys in my freezer for example. Birdseyes ones go up 20% people will just buy other brands not really a problem for the consumer is it?

Before Brexit, whom people used to blame whenever a company announced some job losses?

Why EU was not held responsible when millions of people lost jobs in 2008-9?

EU banks were responsible. Well at least their US operations were. RBS included.

We will have to wait and see what happens.


Dr Hopewell told i that all fishing ports would be affected by a huge tariff increase, and even British companies established here may look to process fish in nations on the continent.

Builders were paying surveyors to increase the value of properties, they were bought by people who lied to get mortgages, the mortgage companies didn't check because they sold them on before the first payment was due, they were then packaged up and ratings agencies lied about their rating. They were then bought by people who saw them as a safe investment, but lots of people suddenly defaulted and they became worthless. Lack of regulation and fraud was responsible.

Saying it's EU banks that is responsible makes you sound like you'll stop at nothing to blame the EU at every chance you can.

Are you saying that people who eat fish fingers aren't discerning?

The government is pretty adamant that they aren't delaying brexit, so why would honda plan for it?

An "expert" has suggested so it must be gospel. Pfftt. We will see indeed, after all even a broken clock is right twice a day (which is more than the so-called "experts" seem to manage).

The experts may well know more than you and me, its just that the media select these 'experts'.

Of course, and you make sure you know what the expert is going to tell you before you ask them.

So the fine of £5,800,000,000 that the US authorities imposed on Deutsche Bank (for example) had nothing to do with their involvement in the subprime mortgage crisis?

Seems as if we occupy different universes.
