Where's me mod hat...
Ok, the thread can continue for a further day or so on one condition: no more migrant/boats/Albanians/foriners/asylum seekers/the French/safe countries etc chat/debate/discussion/argument.
Anyone not getting the message will be ooot.
For a start it's China we're talking about..... : )
UK and European governments do throw money, a lot of it, to the local manufactures but it tends to be on a one off basis, such as the example you linked to.
Thatcher gave funds to Nissan to set up production in Sunderland whilst some years...
It was a Tory move towards end of last year some time and now seemingly continued by Labour. I don't recall all the figures but I think for this year manufacturers have to SELL 22% of their stock as BEVs. Next year it goes to 28% and so forth to 100% in 2035.

Disappointing that you can't even offer the tiniest hint of understanding on the GFA/ECHR.
So many times I hear "let's get out of this", "let's cancel that", "we don't need this" etc, etc and when a simple question is asked on perhaps the consequences or how it will effect ordinary people or is...

Oh come on, surely you can be a bit more responsive than that? Man on the moon stuff is not an answer...to anything.
Tell us how these GFA/ECHR issues can be resolved, in your opinion, if it's not beyond the realms of possibility.
Thanks.
Hard to know, can you feel/tell how much metal there is left under the rust? Good rust converter (once you are finished with the wire brush) might be an option although no idea on how it will behave once hot.
