Car Manufacturing

I recognise that, but after the investment, the profitable side is here. Why not close plants in other parts of Europe? We know that Ford have made a lot of closures in America, but once it has turned the corner it is surely better to keep silverware that is well polished rather than silverware that is losing money. It is sad that Ford, which has one of the biggest markets, is now leaving us. I understand that Ford has to make tough decisions, but I am worried for those who work there and their long-term future.
