Signing the petition was never likely to save the plant but it does at least raise awareness of the issue and perhaps encourage the Government to consider how it is going to secure the future of the affected parties who will lose their livelihood.

If you really care about the workers, how is signing the petition going to be detrimental? Also don't forget, the costs in benefits to those newly unemployed will soon exceed the £100 million mark.

Er, we are going to make you all redundant if you are not cost effective, so how is downing tools going to help? It will only serve to prove Ford right, if this happened in Turkey they would sack the lot, hire a fresh workforce and get away with it!
