Here is my original post I never said it was a mass redundancy and what has Ford got to do with this? You seem to be embelishing my original post somewhat. And to say AZ are " maintaining and investing in a significant R&D facility" in Cambridge is disingenious as it comes at the cost of a...

On its own this is a meaningless figure. They said they are "creating a £500 facility." This is somewhat different to saying they're investing £500m. It might not be fresh money. What they have said is a lot of jobs are going and no matter which way you cut this it isn't positive for the UK.

By the way. You recently asked me what difference does it make if a company operating in the UK is foreign owned. Given that the UK will loose out on a lot/majority of that company's high end legal, financial and accountancy services quite a lot I'd say especially given services make up to 70%...

Companies usually blame others when they're not doing well; I don't think I have ever heard a CEO ever blame the...

I'm sorry but losing this amount of skilled and well paid jobs off the back of AZ's last round of cuts and the closure of Pfizer in Kent is a disaster given the government stated how critical these types of jobs are to the UK in general and also the rebalancing of the UK economy. Yet another...

This is under half though. And after Osborne allegedly played a part in them getting 5 million of our money for their R&D facility. Personally I do not have an issue with the government investing like this but there needs to be some assurances in return.

Spot on my friend.
