Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
How many other companies will we have to compensate? How much will this compensation cost? Is this the Brexit dividend we were expecting?
This debate is pointless. Newspaper clickbait. A non-story.
The fall in the pound and a cut in corporation tax which is already planned with offset any WTO tariffs.

But nothing bad will happen, and even if it does we'll have our sovereignty
The fall in the pound will make Nissan cars attractive. This came from a BBC Newsnight report that asked some 'what if' questions. Before Brexit Renault looked into closing Sunderland and moving production to France.
Carlos Ghosn, chief executive of Renualt-Nissan, last week told the BBC that he is "reasonably optimistic" the UK will remain an important partner for Europe, once trade negotiations are completed.
This is all speculation.

The Franco-Japanese group makes its plants bid against each other to win significant new production contracts, with Sunderland facing stiff competition from Renault plants in continental Europe. Bidding is expected towards the end of next year or in early 2018 for a new of the Qashqai, Nissan's popular "crossover" vehicle currently made in Sunderland. The new model would be slated for launch in 2020. Car plants in France and Spain are expected to bid with the latter having advantages in labour costs and the former having support from the French government. So we could remain in the EU and Sunderland could close.
Nissan made a major investment in Sunderland last year to make an updated version of the Qashqai which goes on sale soon. So no further investment will be made until the bid process is complete.
But let's not ruin a chance to bash the Brexit vote before we see what an exit deal might look like. If we get a naff deal or the EU comes back and says we don't want you to leave we'll address some of your concerns then I'll happily change my tune.

OK, I resolve not to post another Brexit thread in Off Topic.
