Will Brexit destroy Britain's heartlands? | This Place: Swindon

- While Westminster is consumed by Brexit, the rest of the country is already dealing with the consequences.
In Swindon, Honda is closing a major factory and directly cutting 3,500 jobs, let alone the many thousands more that will be lost down the supply chain. Most of Swindon’s population have a direct connection to the employer.
Oli Dugmore went there to find a town fighting for its soul, from a workers’ march demanding government intervention to the bar of a Polish community centre.
Two points are made over and over again; that the Honda closure will devastate the community, and, the House of Commons could not be more disconnected from post-Brexit reality.

The Same Uk immigrants living in Spain in a English community, are the same that voted leave and complain about the Polish Immigrants living in the UK polish community....the hypocrisy is real
Most English never think they are foreigners even when their live in a foreign country but their arrogance is now punishing them big time by being deported from the EU if they are found illegal and losing their freedom of movement in the EU which they thought never applied to them. I want to see them being taught a dear lesson. Arrogance is their incurable illness.
@@derekmab7734 What an utter load of shit. It is EXACTLY the opposite of what you said. The people living and traveling to the EU disproportional voted to remain. And all this crap: "English never think they are foreigners even when their live in a foreign " basically is you projecting your own hatred of the English and nothing more. The rest of the world needs to get over us winning "who can own the most shit". Sorry, but I am not sorry. Get over it.
95% of UK citizens living in the EU voted remain
@@derekmab7734 could not agree more arrogant insufferable English
@@johnlewsey4458 where did you find that information
I've worked in plenty of warehouses around Swindon doing temp work when I was a teenager, and another 6 month stint when I was about 30 and I was incredibly struck with the difference in work ethic between the immigrant workers (mainly Polish and Goan) and the locals (which I am). My overwhelming impression wherever I went was that the immigrants were cheerful, punctual, polite and they grafted hard. The British workers were lazy, rude, unreliable, scruffy, unclean, poor attitude etc.
So it does make me laugh when locals whinge that immigrants have "nicked" jobs they are incapable of getting, keeping or have been sacked from. The world doesn't owe you a living mate, you have to turn up on time and actually do the work, it's not difficult.
Edit: also, well done for making Swindon look even more bleak and depressing than it actually is, I didn't think that was possible 😂
Sounds like you've had a very exciting life
@@simoncook1325 sounds like you're being needlessly judgmental and snide 🤭 Enjoy the rest of your day, total stranger 💕
I can relate to that. Same here in germany. Some of my fellow germans think they are entiteled to their job and their higher-ups should be thankful that they are showing up to work and do the bare minimum to just not get fired.
It's wrong to judge people by where they're from...... but in my experience, I think you're right. It makes sense anyway; one set of people travelled across the world leaving god knows what behind and are probably just happy to be making a decent living. The other set of people took the bus to work and probably shared their journey on TikTok - that's what usually happened at my work.
That guy who said immigrants look dodgy... I mean if I had to draw a picture of a dodgy person it would look like that guy. Bald and angry.
He looks like one of those gangsters from a Guy Ritchie movie.
I'd probabaly seek shelter at forriners trying to escape this dodgy bloke ....
The Europeans here where I live have enhanced our society giving us doctors nurses nice shops and cafes We have destroyed a decent society and the people who destroyed it are not even European in some cases.Ask yourself why do they want to destroy The EU?
I have served this guy before and I know of him from the town area. The dude is a scrout
Lol exactly.

How dare these foreigners invest in our country and give us jobs.
This business actually siphon value from the nation. Economically it is better if we have our own business in the UK and invest in other countries.
@@benowen8321 Aahhh....so you’re an economist !! What professional qualifications have you ? Come on, don’t be shy.
@@californiadreamin8423 Very funny. I Bet you have no qualifications in anything that matters. Not that it actually matters, but since you asked I have a degree in one of the STEM subjects. Having a degree does not make what you say more a less valid. If an astrophysicist told you the moon was made of cheese would you believe them?
@@benowen8321 Thank you , you have confirmed that you are not an economist. Well Ben , I’m not an economist either but I know BS when I read it. And by the way , I’ve had to google the meaning of STEM. I’ve never been impressed by jargon. Let’s call a spade a spade. I have an Honours Degree in Aeronautical Engineering and Design , and I’ve learned the hard way to keep my mouth shut when I don’t know what I’m talking about. You might try it.
@@californiadreamin8423 I find it hard to believe that you have an "Honours Degree in Aeronautical Engineering" and not now what STEM is. STEM is a pretty common term. And is in no way "jargon" as you put it. One of us is talking bull, and its not me.
An idea or opinion is not more valid if you have a degree. Many of the greatest minds of humanity who have invented, innovated and created important new knowledge had no official qualifications.
So if I am wrong. Explain. Otherwise practice what you preach: "I’ve learned the hard way to keep my mouth shut when I don’t know what I’m talking about. "
Now that we've left I'm sure Swindon is a paradise.
Takes time mate
Now: foreigners gone, jobs gone. Well done!
I'm from Swindon. Everyone and their parents either work at Honda, Nationwide, motortrade, IT or NHS.
National Trust, Research Council and Zurich have a fair presence also. I’d say it’s every Swindonians right of passage to have worked at either Nationwide or Honda at some point in their life.
Every time I start feeling sorry for the English for the despair that is only going to get worse, this video appears on my RUclips and puts everything in perspective !!! Xenophobia, (not racism, you are too stupid to even know which of your hates is at stake) has a price and is time to pay the piper!!!
Not everyone pal. Most people I know do not work in any of those firms.
If any of them are curious about what is happening to them, remind them that under capitalism profit seeks the lowest cost of labor and materials and via brexit we made ourselves a lot more expensive to deal with, the only reason Honda & others have stayed for as long as they have is we the tax payer have been bribing them stupid for 30 years via tax breaks and subsidies to keep a sliver of their production here in the UK where even before brexit it was helishly expensive to produce anything compared to the likes of say Vietnam where you can hire a PhD engineer for half the cost of a cleaner in Hackney.
You can also remind the passing soon to be unemployed bacon muncher, that had he or she have voted for Corbyn, even if Honda or other companies went, their jobs would have not only been secured, but the entire factory with all its tools and equipment would have become theirs to own and operate as a democratic co-operative and retooled to produce other things of need for the national economy and export.
Here is the policy that now will never see the light of day, which incidentally was the entire reason for brexit, with one foul deed the capitalist classes not only got rid of swathes of pro worker legislation, but they divided a nation against itself and put their media to work on the same, in order to prevent the masses getting behind one man and this policy, because quite simply, it was and remains the greatest threat to capitalism in its 400 year history, we call it democracy, that thing capitalism prevents in 70% of life spent at work then the capitalist minority tell all to blame "insert minority/and or foreigners" with no money and power being exploited equally next to them for its results.
In the words of the immortal Jim Bowen, have a look at what Y'all could have won.

@@Nine-Signs very good unfortunately there’s so many who would not take the time to read and examine what you say ,
Fast forward to 2021 Honda factory is closing in June and relocate half of it Poland and the rest back to Japan hahahahahaha
Great news.
I hope those polish Honda workers are able to follow the jobs....and get away from the brexittards at the same time.
The first guy is brilliant. "I would have voted out but I didn't vote. I didn't want to make a decision that affects my children. Now I'd vote to stay" I see the point. You don't vote so you can always say I didn't vote for that. Excellent way of being always on the right side.
Kudos to him though, for being smart enough to know that his personal opinions aren't necessarily a sound basis for such a monumental decision for the country.

We never asked for your sympathy.
I don't want or need your sympathy..
@@benowen8321 back to living in an arsehole
Now the truths sinking in,they were conned by the con men
What truth is that then?
If you look at the immigration figures today you'll discover as EU migration has dropped to nearly nothing, Non EU migration has increased to fill the gap.
So where are the ones picking the fruit?
Honda is closing, thousands of jobs are gone. Welcome to Brexit!
Swindon has been falling down hill for years. The council is terrible. Building Houses Everywhere. 8,000 Houses are being built around a small village. Traffic is crazy in Swindon. The Council is terrible not understanding. Swindon has high crime and the council are closing so many roads.
Brexit was the wrong answer to the wrong question. The question has always been about class and innequality. Brexit isn't going to stop there being "foreigners" and it won't deal with innequality. Someone needs to be honest and say that. Also we need address the causes of racism which we never want to do. Also if the workers of Honda could have also been shareholders as well they would have had more sway. They would have also understood the threat that Brexit would have on their jobs.
@@Danc1978 I beg to differ. I have learned and experienced your history as you call it all my life. I learned that narrow nationalism cost a lot of lives and the idea behind European Community was to stop that.
@suburben yobbo yes I understand all of that but that isn't going to stop the tariffs and trade complications of a no deal Brexit
@suburben yobbo I'm not ignoring white people and it wasn't only white people who voted leave. I'm saying let's have an honest conversation about race and why white people feel they are victims of racism. My take is that it's a class issue. White middle and upper class people do not feel under threat because they can afford to live in areas where people who are working class whether whatever ethic group can't afford to live. Also they have careers that are not under threat from imigration. But the opposite is true in working class areas which is why you get a racial backlash in these areas. Plus English identity amongst working class people because upper classes kept the working class in their place but used their muscle to fuel an industrial revolution and build an empire that the upper classes benefitted from. They did this through by telling working class people that being British meant they were better and smarter and that everyone else was below them. So they colonised 1/4 the earth to make the elites even more rich. But in order to make Black and Brown people serve the empire they told them they were British as well and invited us in to work here. But not in the upper class areas we went to the working class areas who had been taught all their lives they were better than foreigners and promised that although they weren't going to share in the wealth they had created they would be looked after from the cradle to the grave. So of course against that backdrop you are going to have resentment from white English working class people to people who are not white even if they are 2nd 3rd generation. It's sad but there you have it. I was born and grew up in a white English working class area of East London that isn't any more. And noone wants to have an honest conversation about that which is why we get to Brexit. Where people don't really care more about stopping imigration than the economy because they never get a fair deal even when it is going well. What they care about is being able to feel English in what they feel is a country that is theirs. But middle and upper class people don't get that narrative. They forgot that was what they fed working class people to focus on foreigners rather than people power who have been exploiting them for centuries. But because they are "English" its people who like me who look foreign are the ones supposedly the problem. But I probably wouldn't be here if Britain hadn't come to Ghana to get Gold, cocoa and slaves. I'm not saying that any British or English person alive today is to blame for that but neither am I. Anymore than EU citizens are to blame for freedom of movement.
@@Danc1978 our history is intertwined I just did a long post explaining it. But in a nutshell Dan I wouldn't have been born here if your history had not included conquering my ancestral home and claiming the land and people as "British" Not your fault mate but not mine either so here we are.
and this is coming from someone not from Britain.
We will lose all the Honda's and other foreign companies and UK companies too.
So what. We will gain new one. How to this day people think the UK cannot operate as a independent county is beyond me. No one reason has ever been presented that would show why we cannot do the same or better outside of the EU. Not one. And there never will be. Economic growth was not invented by the EU (economic stagnation was though XD).
People used to think the British are educated with common sense!...this video proves otherwise.
I was born in UK industrial heartland to parents who settle there during WWII along with other from other nationalities including Poland. I decided to emigrated to Australia, as a younger man as a result of prejudice in the UK which has very much come to the surface since Briexit. If you have skills or are willing to work try moving to a country where 29% of the population are born overseas, and 50% have one parents born overseas, you will NOT regret the decision to try it! NSW in Oz
About fifteen quid's worth of damage.
I live in Swindon....help.
Yeah I say the same
Where are all the Brexiteers? Can't see them or their banners and Placards saying get Brexit done
Where are all the Remainers? Can't see them or their banners and Placards saying Stop Brexit
@@benowen8321
I'm a remsiner and proud to be so
Get brexit done.
Because Patrick its usually the remainers that do all that.
Well brexit is done.
But they were listened to. They voted leave and got it. I'm not sure if sympathy is warranted when you vote despite warnings for something that now has produced some of the predicted effects.
As a relative said to me after the referendum, “I’d rather be poor but ruled by ourselves”. Well there’s a thing......!
Lack of class awareness amongst the English. The Eton elite who rule them don't think they are 'ourselves'.
I live in Swindon and I would say in some places it's actually nice to live, although town centre is truly the worlds arse . At night it may as well be the wild west too.
I live in a village near swindon and swindon is such a shit hole
Ja Murphy nobody gives a fuck where you live
Parts of Swindon are nice and there is a lot to like in the surrounding area. The suburbs are where you want to be. Town centre is truly dire.
It really is very derelict... but it wasn't in that state prior to us joining the EU. These people voted for change, it's as simple as that. Can't argue that they did or didn't grasp the nuances, because the only difference to them are decisions that affect them being taken by those who are nearer or further from reach. The loss of Honda can also be attributed directly to the EU's trade deal with Japan. Honda did not relocate production to the EU, it relocated it to Japan because of the deal the EU did prior to Brexit. Honda made its decision literally as this deal came into force, a deal that was being negotiated prior to the referendum even being announced. People in Swindon aren't stupid, they know full well the EU never had their interests at heart and were ready to forego their livelihoods in favour of globalist ideology.
@@Hashterix Exactly! but this has been going on even longer. Tens of thousands of exporting manufacturing companies have closed in Britain since the late 1950's when decline began. At he same time politicians have been importing people over those decades. Total stupidity!
no one can take your job if there arent any
😂😂😂
Lmao
The EU created the law of minimum wage for EU citizens within EU countries, but now England will give to european citizens the wage they wish to do so ... therefore cheap laours will expand, not reduce.. I am no expert ... not to mention that english inmigrants will need visa to work and live in europe
That bald head guy looks like he's been in universal credit most of his life
Swindon might need Honda but obviously Honda doesn’t need Brexit Swindon
Honda cars are also shit
@@neilreddaway1005 that so comforting to the people losing their jobs. 100% empathy on your part mate
Being the director of an engineering business not eight miles from the Honda factory you would think that when we expanded we would have seen ex-Honda employees applying for jobs with our company. But No ! Not one ex-Honda applied with around 90% of our expanded workforce being immigrants. The sad fact is the English don’t want or are not trained to work in the engineering sector and for this we have the schools system to blame as the education sector only sees university education as a success and vocational training as the only resort for the failures. My view is the education sector are failing young people by sending them to further education that has little practical use in the workplace and leaves then with big university loans to pay off having gained a qualification with zero commercial value.
Honda came to Swindon. Swindon kicked them in the arse. England left EU. Honda leaves Swindon. Not rocket science.
Honda initially had a partnership with Rover, before Rover was sold to BMW. So agreed, the UK did shaft Honda....... Honda are also being very generous in their severance payments, paying far more than they need to.
Sadly I think the Mini plant up the road at Cowley is next.
At least he admitted it. The rest of them won't, even though the clearly are.
I'd rather they were honest. They can either be educated or avoided
Honda is foreight business...so they voted them out!.
Are they listening to themselfs now?🤣
They got what they voted for!
Just as the 'racist' guy was starting to talk sense and say he would now vote and vote to remain, the clip ends...
why put racist in inverted commas? he blatantly said he was racist
He was pissed and stupid.
But Honda does not need U K.

Not in the sense of us going backwards...but in the sense that Asia and Africa will out pace us with economic growth and technology. Now we are not in the EU we would do well to attach ourselves to Asia to build up speed once again.
@@benowen8321 it is going backwards already and has been for some time. Yes Asia is on the rise but the UK has and will continue to fall. I am sad to say it, but the die is now cast.

" This is what we voted for!" - Ann Widdecombe
I'm immigrant.
I work in one of the warehouses in Swindon. Once i asked a manager that why do they employ so many foreigners? He said because foreigners at least turn up. They wont fail the first drug test. He said it's hard to rely on people who have their whole family stoned since 3 generations back.
He also said they prefer immigrants (europeans) because those people usually more educated, usually they have some kind of qualifications but due to the language barrier they are kind of forced to do low level jobs like warehouse or assembly line. While those native people who chose these jobs usually have no qualifications at all, they can barely read and write or understand rudimentary tasks.
Since the brexit the EU workers stopped coming and many of them left England, while a lot of indian, black african and others turned up, much worse forkforce than the polish or other europeans.
Swindon has changed a lot in the past few years. It's hard to see white people in the town centre. Shops closed, and the whole place deteriorated.
Welcome to brexit england ,,, we have supplier's from the uk moving to small retail outlets in the republic here just to stay a float
You got what you voted for Brits! Live with it! You wanted this!
So this video is 2 years old and I’m 5 minutes in, Honda is closing and it’s nothing to do with Brixit, get your facts right.
Swindon isn’t any worse than other places up and down the M4. If you want to know why Swindon looks a dump, look no further than SBC.
@12:30 Save the jobs in the plant and the supply chain - exactly what Jason J. Hunter warned about.
Like the Japanese company, Honda. Who have left Swindon because of the Brexit Swindon voted for. Clap, Clap, Swindon. Well done.
But they haven't they left usa Canada and the EU for the same reasons. This is lies
On July 30, 2021, Honda closed its Swindon factory. The 3000 Honda workers got off nicely with 6 1/2 weeks pay for every year employed. The 2 to 4000 people around the factory, esp. 1800 supplier's jobs, were not so lucky.
I’d be interested in a update to this video
swindons a fun place 😎

Voting was just a cover up... brexit was decided well before that
It was. It was decided that we would join the EU and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Umm, well if you don't want businesses to leave, vote remain then. It's not "project fear", it's fact.
It is project fear. When you intentionally focus on only the negative and ignore the positives and pretending it is the full truth that is project fear.
@@benowen8321 What exactly are the positives ? Come on clever dick, I want to know.
@@californiadreamin8423 I imagine whatever positives I list you will deny as a positive. Lets test this.
The EU is not democratic and is a slow bureaucratic nightmare that stops any real progress or major change in the EU from taking place. Would you not agree that a positive of being out of the EU is that we do not have to deal with that?
What about being able set tariffs that make sense for UK as opposed to blanket tariffs that can hurt us.
Those are not opinions. Those are undeniable OBJECTIVE positives of not being in the EU.
The UK is now FREE to pursue its own goals. The UK can now actually have meaningful negotiations with other nations around the world as it is not bound by a greater power.

Honda closing and Brexit were not linked dummies... The factory was always winding up
Completely unreated question. On minute 10.28 they visit a Polish Orthodox Church. I know it exists even knowing that most Polish people are Catholic but the big portrait of Pope St. John PauI II and that portrait inspired on the one of Jesus as visioned by St. Faustina Kowalska, also a catholic saint, would indicate this is a Polish Catholic Church, not Orthodox. Also the ambon has the coat of arms if Pope John Paul II. Let me know if I'm wrong.
You’re quite correct.....
Not orthodox.True
Omg i know that polish guy- he's well nice
I've known this island for a long time. Very long, I think about fifty years and for whatever reason, I never noticed or saw that they were such a backward and underdeveloped people. I really get the feeling that I have visited that country with Penny lane glasses.
The U.K needs Honda, but Honda doesn't need the U.K. They need acces to the E.U. That's the whole point no one thought about when they voted leave.
Once upon a time we exported this lot to create an Empire...
Yes cannon fodder for the Johnsons and moggs of history to get rich, that was there only function.

Why did you film the backstreets of Swindon? The areas you mostly filmed were of run down areas. Swindon is a lovely friendly place with beautiful places of interest. Why are you painting Swindon with negativity. Perhaps if you lived here you would also film other parts of Swindon not just back allies. Paint Swindon in a Positive light and not just a negative light.
Because they want to push their lefty bullshit agenda. Some of the areas shown used to be beautiful railway buildings in the town centre, now it's a ghetto where English people don't go. They didn't show the thousands of new houses that have gone up in the last few years, people must be working somewhere to be able to afford them. Honda made it very clear that leaving was nothing to do with Brexit. Those buildings won't stay empty for long and whoever moves in will want employees. I'd be more than happy with the fat payout those people will be getting.
Swindon is a shithole, especially in town.
@@michaeldudziak2346 if you don't like Swindon then piss off and find somewhere else to live.
I don't get why people go on marches to try and make a private company stay, it just doesn't make sense. If there's a profit, the company will stay and if there isn't then it will leave. What's the march for?
Also, from my 2021 viewpoint that last statement about Parliament being a circus made me think about how toothless Johnson was before the General Election in 2019. I'd never considered it before but many people could have seen Labour(Corbyn) as getting in the way of progress rather than trying to prevent the sh1tstorm of a government that we have now.
No sympathy for any of you,you voted out. Hell mend you.
Honda is not dhutting because of Brexit. Honda are shutting because their cars are not selling. They have proven too expensive anc the designs are strange. Demand had died world-wide. Honda has pulled out of Australia for similar reasons.
I grew up in the city when my parents were stationed in RAF fairford. Came back when I turned 20 and was only able to stay a year because I couldn’t find a job, nobody wanted to hire immigrants it felt. Ended up having to get jobs out of the city just to make it
The only saving grace is he is honest! Least he isn't lying which is what all the politicians did! And he is honest to see the brutal bollocking truth despite the lying politicians. It also shows how those who voted to Ave didn't care about those it would adversely affect! 🙏
The rest of what's left of carmaker will eventually follow suit its a matter of when not if
In Every race there is a dodgy person and special person, but the bald guy is from dodgy side
Swindon, Goodnight Sweet Prince.................................
That chap in the green is taking honestly and he shows so clearly the utter complexity of emotion of trying to decide how to vote in the reductionist plebiscite as was offered by Mr Cameron
Time for an update, “How Brexit destroyed Britains’s heartlands”
The manufacturing heartlands of this nation have been systemically dismantlement for the last 60 years. And you are crying because people are kicking the rubble down the street?
@@benowen8321 I'm crying?
@@mapryan I duno? Are you?
This is very unfair on Swindon. You have showed nothing but the bad pockets of the city. I live here and there are lovely areas around town. Show those instead, I’m fed up of Swindon being portrayed like a dump when it isn’t.
Where are the lovely areas as I live here and it's a dump
I've lived there all my life, it's a shit hole
Been there for an away game (Swindon vs WWFC). Also had to go there as I worked for a company which had a Head Office there. Only saw a bit of it, tbf, but that was enough. You did give us Keith Scott, tho.
Swindon is a town not a city.
Bye bye Honda..
Honda have stated many times that shutting down the plant has zero to do with brexit .. Japanese companies in general are taking production back to japan
The reason why they moved it partially to Poland...
Primary reason Honda closed Swindon was the EU-Japan trade deal. Japan has a deal with EU which will let them sell Japanese made cars in EU without tariffs in exchange for EU shipping food and wine to Japan without tariffs. Because of brexit we aren’t in that deal so Japan has zero reason to keep the factory in U.K. All this is easy to find out. It’s sad how many people believe the Governments lies. Brexit is the biggest con of the modern age.
Hate to say it but from the looks of it Swindon has more problems than whether or not a manufacturing plant moves. At least the producers didn't gloss over what Swindon appears to be. Every town has run down places but if this is high point with manufacturing there I can only imagine what it would be with it gone. It would seem I made the best decision to not move there.
