This would be a huge FU to the UK.

Rolls Royce is a huge point of pride for them.
As it should be.

Net zero is the biggest scam of our time. And the UK has fallen for it big time.

Normally I am skeptical of foreign companies coming since they bring a ton of foreigners with them, but having a bunch of Brits wouldn’t be terrible.

(Except for the tea, Earl Grey is disgusting)

We have better equipment anyway, at least we don't have Lucas electronics.

They’ll get an emergency exemption or something. No way they’re gonna let Rolls-Royce up and leave for the United States.

Just hope they are required to hire native Americans not foreigners.

The Merlin engine played a huge part in winning WWII.

It's because of the Muslim invasion, but they won't say that.

The large Rolls Royce jet engines are one of few things the Brits are still doing right.
