> I wonder, how many of these cars are assembled in Britain?
Over 450,000 Nissans are built every year in Sunderland; when it opened the plant was considered the great hope of the area, which had been devastated by the decline of British manufacturing in the 80s, and Thatcherism in the 80s.
80% of those cars are exported within the EU.
An overwhelming majority of Sunderland voted to leave.
Let's hope Nissan is not going to pull out in the coming years (supply lines, export issues).
But should that that happen, what would those people who voted for leave in Sunderland make of it? Would cognitive dissonance kick in and the blame again be placed on the EU or are they going to call for the head of Boris Johnson and Farage?
