As UK breaks away from Europe, Facebook tells Brits: You’ll all be Californians soon

As Brits wake up to Brexit next month, most will no longer find themselves stuck on an island in the Atlantic but ensconced in sunny California, courtesy of Facebook.

The Ineos factory in Bridgend was only going to be an assembly site. The manufacturing was going to be done in Portugal.

Key parts for the Ineos vehicle - including the body and chassis - will be built at a second factory in Portugal before being brought to Bridgend for assembly.

I sometimes wonder if I was born in a different country and was adopted by Britain.

I am willing to bet money that most of these “Uncle Alberts” will complain bitterly if they are ordered by the government to pull up their lawns, so they can be replaced with vegetable gardens. I expect some particularly sociopathic individuals would even go as far as to concrete over their gardens “to own the liberals”.
