You're linking to a blog from a woman that has a passion for ballet and lives in New-Zealand.
I don't think she's the go to expert in EU grants/or anything EU related for that matter (even though she might have reposted and might have acted all shocked without realizing what all those things mean/who can get them).

Foreign companies owning power companies airports and buses is nothing to do with the EU,the British government sold them off

When you supply a list of companies that import via the UK to access the free market, or have moved production here for the same reason, for a fair comparism, we might start to make progress.

If you ever read up on disaster capitalism and how it operates then there is an element of this going on now.
Big business, the bedfellow of pacts, trade agreements etc, like the EU, will know the best way to take advantage of a gnarlsed up situation. They use situations like this to bring about radical changes that benefit and reinforce profit making, there is never a whole overview spproach. It's a principle Naomi Klein labelled 'shock and awe', and as ever, it's about protecting the upper tiers of the system and the cost borne out by the bottom tiers.
Capitalism is beginning to eat itself.

I havnt said a word about which companies are based where, or why.
I was talking about the threat to the supply chain, and not for the first time neither, cos 99% of folk dont give it a moments thought. Unless it breaks. Which it could well do.
I assume you will be fine with that.

Of course they are, most are more concerned with some flump falling on the ice on a Sunday night's telly than being remotely concerned about how their society develops.
Shun responsibility and let someone else do it. It's one of the main reasons we're in this mess overall.
The public wants what the public gets, said some prophet...

So you agree it will be if we dont get a deal then? Cos unless I am mistaken, you want Out, no matter what.
Asda is from the USA - Walmart Sainsbury's are waiting to take ASDA over - also about business leaving the U.K. A caller to LBC named loads who relocated away from the UK well before Brexit well before the referendum in fact - Cadburys, Lever brothers etc ironically how did they fund the move ......
The EU partly funded it with grants......like to hear the project fear mongers explain that one away

Although it's true that the Walmart group are the parent company, ASDA itself is a British company. It was started in the UK and is run by Britain's. Although Walmart purchased it they never took control they simply added it to their portfolio as one of their subsidiaries. Given that they are indeed about to sell it to Sainsbury it will then continue to be a British company.
Cadbury's is owned by Kraft the American company as part of their Mondelez group. The EU never funded any move to mainland Europe by Kraft with their Cadbury brand. That is a lie and has always been a lie by certain British EU skeptics.
Kraft moved Cadbury themselves to cheaper regions as it made fiscal sense.
In fact the EC told Kraft they needed to divest their business in Poland and Romania. So they sold most of the eastern European facilities.
Out with a an agreed deal, preferably taking no deal off the table purely as a negotiation tactic that will never be achieved it's a motion to remain in the EU - a democratic disaster for the UK!
