Believe me: those same krauts that bought the ownership will probably move the whole production line to China or Germany ? And when they wait a bit longer, Tata (an Indian company) will probably move the others to Germany as well. Because then imports will be cheaper for us. In fact: they are already closing down plants and facilities as we speak. They wanted to do the same with the one in the Netherlands but then the EU came calling threatening them with repercussions - so they decided not to bother. Same with other brands: they will probably set up shop in Italy ? Why ? Same reason. Paying taxes in the UK ? Ireland or Luxembourg are calling. Otherwise the Netherlands, Panama or the Cayman Islands.
Why would they stay in Britain ? They'd have an expensive labour market and no access to the real market (the EU) because of a tariff wall. They'll be packing up and moving to the Mainland. There are only in Britain because 1) it's an English-speaking country with the infrastructure being in place. 2) a EU member.
