You are trying to tell me that its an unlucky coincidence that the businesses are shutting down right around Brexit deadline, and Brexit nothing has to do with it?
Sure.
Sure.
Japan just signed a major trade deal with the EU which would abnegate them from the need to actually make any cars in Europe anymore, since they can be imported into Europe sans tariffs.
Ergo - this is a story about how an EU/Japan trade deal is causing the closure of plants across Europe.
Clearly Brexit might be part of the calculus but there's no evidence to suggest how they are related.
You've offered no evidence or logic, and neither has the article. I don't think there's any clear reasoning on how Brexit factors into this.
Any examples of closures elsewhere in the EU?
