I don't think that anyone can be surprised that each side is claiming victory! Time can be the only true judge.  eg let's see the reaction of PSA towards investment in its Vauxhall car plant in Ellesmere Port. |
I agree - and for that reason I’m not claiming that here in the UK we’re only getting ‘half the story’ or insinuating that whatever is printed in the European press is the actual truth. All the governments with a stake in this have a reason to quell unrest from the interest groups involved.
From what I’ve read so far I think the deal is fair. And I don’t think it’s very likely that PSA will do anything to Ellesmere Port that they weren’t thinking of doing anyway. Car assembly plants cost an absolute freaking fortune to tool up and staff. You don’t shut them down to make a political point (not even if you’re French).
