Well there was that William Joyce guy, but he was a mix of American, Irish, British. No doubt there were many people who supported and helped the Germans, we had a King who was a bit close to them. But of course that doesn’t mean we should hate the English nor hate the Irish as a population, just reserve our hate for the few who did....

Going by Pete's logic, the fact that some British people collaborated with the Nazis means you get to say Britain collaborated with the Nazis.

Huh? It was that you accused Ireland as a nation of collaborating with the Nazis, as well as suggesting they all deserve a kicking that I thought was a bit off
It's a shame that such an Brittish icon should be made in France.
I can't believe JLR scrapped the defender only to replace it with a suped up discovery.
Obviously someone saw the gaping gap in the market with this iconic motor
But now it's going to be built in an old Mercedes plant in France while being developed in Austria.
We had a defender when I was young. Absolutely loved it.

It looked like it would sell well to the old Defender market, farmers etc etc, who wouldn’t be seen dead in the new one. Ratcliffe just wants to make money, his CEO is a German and this Plant gives them a skilled workforce. The new Defender is already made in Slovakia, but this is a bit of a kick in the teeth for Wales...

The confirmation by the Ineos billionaire ends slim hopes it would be made at a new factory in Wales.

Proper see you next Tuesday this one!
for sure.
A lot of manufacturers will just want to make money.
Needlessly tough times ahead for the UK.

That's the problem isn't it. A good proportion of leave voters will be disappointed. So we're looking at a majority of the country being upset and disappointed. It was always going to be the case when those selling the lies had no accountability for delivering their cloud cuckoo land visions.
