The complete withdrawal of manufacture from the UK yes, as I think you'll find Thailand already has a deal with the EU, so imports from their are like for like or pretty close and labour a fraction of the cost of UK. If we don't get a deal anything from the UK will cost more, some industrial bodies are quoting 20% or more. Within the next few years much of our manufacturing will disappear if we don't get a good deal with the EU.
The likes of Mini (BMW), Toyota, Nissan, whats left of Vaxuhall just vans now I think will go, Honda in Swindon we already know about. I know people from there and regardless of what's said officially, it is Brexit, they aren't willing to make the future investment in the UK.
Wait till the financial sector takes it's hit if we don't get a deal!
Anyway enough of the B word, we'll all find out very shortly. :rolleyes
Later
