No fudging way would I round up the gingers.
Get too close and they might eat my soul.
Ah yes. That age old nazi trait of defending Jews from bigotry.

You have soul? Who'd you steal it from?
I bargained with a ginger for it (who stole it from a real person).
I can’t be a racist. Some of my best friends are black. Etc.

I sincerely doubt the Labour party knows what a sophisticated cyber attack is then (not that any of the others would either).
They would not have stopped a cyber attack in the hands of real professionals - I guarantee that (again, neither would any of the others).

Tesla cites Brexit as Germany chosen over UK for European plant
The Tesla boss, Elon Musk, has said Brexit uncertainty played a role in the firm’s decision to build its first European factory in Germany rather than the UK.
The billionaire entrepreneur revealed that the firm’s European battery plant would be built on the outskirts of Berlin.
Speaking to Auto Express after making the announcement, Musk said: “Brexit [uncertainty] made it too risky to put a gigafactory in the UK.”

And that is why Brexit is a long term negative for the UK. It will result in the UK slowly degrading its standing and economy.
Still waiting for the good Brexit news!

You do understand the word "uncertainty" right?

My bad Brexit is not causing this uncertainty? Brexit could make the UK permanently unattractive to such investment. Brexit will impair free trade with the EU - the main market for Tesla. Brexit is the issue whichever way you wish to slice it.
Back in 2016 Musk had already picked the UK. Brexit has stopped him investing in the UK despite him wanting to. What a joke. Brexit delivers the UK abstract, hard to identify 'benefits' but costs the nation clear things like state of the art investment into electric vehicles. Germany wins, the UK loses.
Musk in 2016:
“We are likely to establish a Tesla engineering group in Britain at some point in the future.
Just look at Formula 1 - it amazes me how much British talent there is in that. "

No guarantees it would have come to the UK I suppose, but if the UK was on the shortlist of countries, that is a big miss. The opportunity cost of brexit is staggeringly high and growing.
Edit: sounds like the Uk was on the shortlist then from your follow up post

The UK was a shoe-in pre-Brexit. Who in their right mind would setup a factory to sell cars to Europe, while the UK is leaving the European free trade area? Japan is easing out of UK production. Companies like Sony have gone already. Brexit sends bad signals to the world. Yet people still support it? Why? What do they think we'll get from it?

Why? Well take your pick - >https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Cognitive_bias_codex_en.svg Backfire effect explains some of it.
And of course there are vested interests that stand to gain from the UK's exit from the EU - hedge fund guys, Russia, Farage, the US, Mogg, anarcho-capitalists, Scara, ethno-nationalists, Northern Ireland (bizarrely if Boris 'fantastic' deal is enacted), etc.
