It's getting serious now.
The Japanese ambassador gave a stark warning to the government today on the consequences of Brexit
“If there is no profitability of continuing operations in the UK — not Japanese only — no private company can continue operation,” he said. “So, it’s as simple as that. This is all high stakes that I think all of us need to keep in mind.”
The Japanese are very polite. But they have been very clear in the past and they are being very direct now about the risks to their businesses created by Brexit.
They are right to feel aggrieved, having invested large amounts of money and skills in this country on the basis of being part of the large single market. They have been given assurances post referendum of no disruption. But our Government is not to be trusted even now.
How shameful and how short sighted to treat reputable, committed and long term investors in this way. How can May not see what she is doing? What needs to happen before she and the rest of them change course?
