Brexiteer boss of Ineos, Jim Ratcliffe, has switched his interest from South Wales to France for a factory to build his 4x4 car. He has clearly had a good price from Daimler AG for a Mercedes factory the German-based multi-national wants rid of. In any case, Bridgend always looked impractical once the decision to leave the EU had been made. Two questions are: how soon did Ratcliffe realise this was the case, and did he cynically mislead the potential Bridgend workforce?Another pair of queries is: how much has the Welsh government laid out in getting the site ready for a new factory and how likely are we taxpayers to see a return on the investment?
Incidentally, the politician who criticised Ineos for betraying the good old English name of "Grenadier" in favour of France cannot have studied history - or the French language/
