Sitting in the hot tub this morning with not a care in the world, having coffee and planning our day ahead...

The Airbus Beluga flew overhead on its way into Hawarden. Magnificent sight that it is anyway, it immediately got me thinking again about this stupid Brexit decision and it’s potential impact on the 6,000 directly employed workers at Broughton and 18,000 other jobs at Filton and elsewhere, not to mention the 4,000 or so ancillary suppliers that employ over 100,000 people connected to those plants that Airbus has spent around £5 billion on component products since production started.

I hope for their sake that the Govt do make some kind of deal to keep Airbus in the U.K. but it is going to depend totally on these factories retaining EASA certification (and thereby European Court jurisdiction.

I live in Filton ward, and we have that twat Lopresti as our MP. He is a leave supporter despite the fact that half his constituency work for the like of Airbus. That said, I was surprised that as a constituancy it was only 51.2% leave (but then Centy would call that a landslide).

Sorry, my mistake there. I meant so say "was only 51.2% remain".

That’s how they transport the wings, isn’t it? On one of these supersize cargo planes?

I think Airbus parent is a company listed in Amsterdam.

I get a feeling that few people realise how little of British industry is owned by British capital.

The smaller wings go by plane. The larger ones go by water. Barge to Mostyn, onto a special ship, then onto Bordeaux and then by barge to Toulouse.

Absolutely wrong. Sorry to piss on your bonfire.

We often get low flying aircraft flying north to south on the approach into Manchester. Seeing the Beluga flying east to west is unusual because it looks so dramatically different and Mrs H was quite amazed to see it. We got talking about it and that prompted the post.

I can guarantee if you saw a low flying Beluga over your house it would spark a conversation.

To be fair it really doesn't take much thinking to think of something to knock BREXIT, just a willingness to put reality before blind faith.

In 6 months we will know - maybe? To be fair 30/3/19 won't see an instant boom - but how long do we have to wait, or more to the point how long WILL we be prepared to wait - assuming it all goes to plan?

Three of my neighbours work at Hawarden and they are not worried about it as they reckon they cannot be replaced that easily,certain high tech industries are immune from Brexit
