Vauxhall have had it
21. May 2009 at 20:27

Business Secretary Lord Mandelson has told the BBC that there will be "painful change" resulting from the takeover of GM Europe.

This, he said, would be inevitable whichever of the three bidders for the European arm of General Motors, which owns Vauxhall, takes over.

"Whoever comes out as the successful bidder will cut costs and consolidate," he said.

He also said he was working hard to secure the future of Vauxhall's plants.

"We have to ensure that productive plants, where the greatest percentage of sales take place and which include UK Vauxhall plants, have a secure future," he said.

"That is what I working for."

He has all his finances put through a blind fund (or something like that)so that no-one can investigate,he has been cauaght a few times before.

Well at the the euro elections I am doing a protest vote, and it will be for the BNP I am afraid. I would not do that in a general election, but feel I need to protest in some way that won't see me getting thwacked with a baton. (last bit a joke, I hold the Police in high esteem, and believe it is a tiny minority that spoils things)

A very good chancellor,he left this lot the strong economy which they sqaundered,maybe if they can do a few deals in smoke filled rooms about who is allowed to say what when etc; it could be a possibility to give him the job but it would be a big risk for Cameron and he doesnt strike me as a risk taker.
In an ideal scenario I would like to see David Davis as leader and Ken as chancellor Thumbs Up!
