Well, I don't think I would have been quite so wordy about it, but from what I have seen, I think that Honda UK do have their problems.
I don't think that the problem is due to the workforce, and I doubt that the working practices are to blame either, but more likely that the restrictions imposed simply by being situated in the UK. For example, the quality of the paint is affected by the local regulations regarding solvents. Once the paint is cured then this is irrelevent, so cars painted where there are no such regulations have glossier paint!
