    Amazing how money can be found to subsidize industry when it suits the politicians involved.

    I watched them build a Qashqai start to finish. Amazing experience (was an "out of office' day for senior staff) although I agree about the car quality!!

    Read that only 1 in 7 of the workforce are from Sunderland, I know its a different era, but I felt a pride in our ships, can't feel the same about Nissan cars somehow.

    I see we have the Trade Minister now saying that the EU should not impose tariffs on vehicles imported into the EU. That gives us some idea of just what could happen - thousands of vehicles looking for a market if the EU do impose an import tax.
