Re: What a surprise
Yup, the article itself makes the point - Intel is considering 70 sites in 10 different countries, and it's looking for subsidies. So basically, it's Intel opening a bidding war amongst EU countries / regions, to find which will throw the most tax payers' money to it.
It's not as if a definite decision to build the plant somewhere was reversed because of Brexit. Instead, the UK taxpayer has lost the opportunity to subsidise a US-based multinational. Not quite the end-of-the-world.
