Planning rationally


I see that Airbus is making noises about abandoning the UK after Brexit - I hope this will make the politicians sit up and take notice, especially Labour! It won't be particularly good for UK jobs if this world-leading manufacturer ups sticks and leaves the UK, many talented engineers around the country will become out of work and it's difficult to see where they could go, the home-spun aircraft design and manufacturing industry being practically non-existent. No doubt the Airbus company will be criticised by the likes of Fox and Johnson in the media "project fear" they will call it. They are simply waffle merchants, their life experience is that rhetoric carries the argument and the day, unfortunately for all the workers in the UK, engineers don't factor rhetoric into their planning.
