    There's been none here. Sunderland will be the first one in the UK, I believe. Not 100% on that mate, but I'm pretty sure that's right.

    They closed the Spanish factories when they decided all future operations in Europe could all mainly be done in the UK.

    They closed the Spanish and Indonesian plants because Nissan had huge losses. Anyway, my question was a joke, as in the new factory wasn't relocating from the EU, so it wasn't stealing jobs from the EU. Never mind, I'm going to have a beer.

    Let the Brexitards cling on to this. It's pretty tragic how desperate they are to prove Brexit was a great idea.

    Exactly. The EU is no good to them and they know that the UK is the best place for them.

    The Sunderland site has more employees now because everything is being directed there. Jobs that would have been done in the EU had Nissan not shut them down.

    Aussie meat is on its way. Looking forward to trying new meat from our commonwealth friends.

    Yet another opportunity handed to us by Brexit.

    Amid high tension between east and west over democratic values, the European Union's presidency passes on Thursday to Slovenia, led by a nationalist who has a history of crossing swords with the EU executive in debates over democracy.

    At last week's summit, where Jansa and Poland's prime minister were reportedly the only leaders to back Orban on Hungary's anti-LGBT law, French President Emmanuel Macron spoke of a fundamental "East-West divide".

    "This is not a 'Viktor Orban problem' ... This is a problem that goes deeper," he said.

    Some academics believe an "Eastern European Union" is emerging based on positions that contradict fundamental EU values such as the rule of law, human rights, media freedom and LGBT rights.

    You have missed my point and I am not bothered about the people on here arguing whether Brexit is good or not the same goes with the vaccines etc. I think I am the only sane person on here and the rest of you are mental.

    They love a lockdown even just for about 20 new cases. Mental.
