Vauxhall Owner's Huge Loss Could Hit Jobs

Is it me or does this country lurch from one crisis to another?

Expect no factories will close in Germany - makes you wonder doesn't it

How do Vauxhall Motors manage to sponsor the England Football team with no money. I remember when I left school most of my friends got jobs at Vauxhall motors in Luton. At that time the plant employed well over 20,000 people working around the clock shifts. The Town was also full of small companies making components for Vauxhall. The only thing made in Luton now are bombs.

We're all going to be working at Mcdonalds or Asda before long.

will not be germany and france

No factories will close in Germany because there government through hell or high water will always stand by there workforce unlike the tories who cannot even give work to our own plants over here prime example bombadier.I do admire the Germans, they do plan long term, and have a strong manufacturing economy.

uk gov could half VAT. The current 20% is killing new car sales off, 20 grand car is 4k VAT even befre all other taxes. Result you cannot sell them.
The Con,dem / Lab parties they are all in denial living in the Westminster village, The EU is the net cause of most of our difficulties, wake up britain we need idependence now !

The UK is in dire straits.Violence has spiralled out of control, knife crimes and guns,and big names going bust.And they say no recession !! this will hit a lot of people if it happens.We won the war but look at the mess we are in ! whoever has been in power ruins it.The next lot are left to pick up the pieces and they ruin it too.And so it will carry on.

Remember the English taxpayer hands £45 million a day to Europe to destroy British jobs. Simple solution: stop handing this cash over to the wasters on the Continent and use this to invest in Cheshire instead, including Vauxhall.

Getting more depressing by the day.
Where will it all end?.

yrs ago it was the euro site including uk that used to subsidise the us plants.

More people unemployed then - when are this " Government" GOING TO DO SOMETHING??????????????

three people being made redundant where i work. three brits with very good work records loyal and hardworkers. how do you think they feel as they walk into work passing a workforce of east europeans and africans. most were not even in this country when these guys started

O.K. so when you go to anywhere in Europe you see an Astra or other badged Vauxhall as we know it it has an Opel badge. Why is that? Why did GM close Luton rather than the German Opel plant? Luton was supposed to be more productive. Maybe it was because the Germans protected there workforce with massive payouts if the plant was closed which Vauxhall didnt for some reason. I worked for Vauxhall for 6 years, a great company. You were well looked after. All the local small eng. companys also went bust. Bye bye Ellesmere Port, glad I never moved there is the late 1960"s, you are beyond saving as they, GM, whom are in great financial crisis could not care less.

GM in the US are still making gas guzzling trucks with 500hp engines. Can't sell those anywhere else except China. No wonder the whole conglomerate is going broke.

The Indians will buy GM out in the UK and all for a pound.

Worked at Ellesmere Port for over 30 years.It is their jewel in the crown.If they close it,it will be because it is easy to do so.Unlike the German plants.It will be a political decision.

if the any thing like the vauxall corsa i bought in 2009 its a wonder they sell any cars its been back to dealers for dangerous faulty steering twice . now a recall on all corsa from 2006 to 2011 for a foot brake fault

We're in the same hole as everyone else. The bankers and politicitians have seen to that.

Goodbye work force of Ellesmere Port.... its the end welcome to china industries .
