Were those positive stories due to Brexit? Rather than any negative news being linked to Brexit, it’s anything that isn’t a clusterfuck being pointed to as a Brexit win.
There is nothing positive happening in this country according to remainers......the world as we know it is coming to an end.
That’s probably not true though I can’t recall many companies coming out and saying “we’re investing in this because we think Brexit is a great idea”.
No, but there are many who seem to be carrying on as normal with their investments.....eg Toyota and Boeing
If you include the fact that we won’t be paying for the pensions and wages of unelected EU officials...then I totally agree. Nice to see you’re seeing the light finally
Just watched the interview with the NFU Maybe the city folk and townies should be made to watch it Key points are if we leave No deal what the impact will be on animal feed, fertiliser and pharmaceuticals add to that the impacts of loss of the market share with its hyper competitive status Can we grow yes if the weather is good to us Can we harvest? Not a chance It’s project fear
Difference is Toyota is U.K. based for U.K. customers and a small thing compared to Toyota Europe. Nissan always here as a gateway to Europe ... oh it’s closing Say again with Toyota the exception the best place to sell from with be Europe for any big company Toyotas £260m by the way is a very small investment to these globals ... just a new product launch in the motor industry would see sums of £750m ... when companies start talking in the £bn’s then that’s a shift Toyota bring out a new corolla every six months anyway ... never have got the styling right have they ? Remember also Nissan and Vauxhall’s now have heavy French ownership influence
I see that over in the land of cheese and wine that the locals are now calling for FREXIT, burning the EU flag as well !!! I await our resident French expert’s answer on this latest crisis affecting his beloved EU, I await his reply explaining how even the French wish to escape the corrupt club which they helped create. I bet I don’t get one from him.
So companies are not moving out of the UK, but some are moving departments working for European clients to the Continent. No real surprise and the numbers are not huge and some will address transition and be temporary. There's a certain amount of hedging going on. What about Continentally based businesses wanting to work for UK clients. Thay will move people in. We still have one of the highest employment rates in Europe and no sign of that diminishing.
On your last comment Stan, it suggests that the EU has no need for the £39 bn and are entirely sanguine as to trade disruption and redundancies in The Low Countries, and Germany, and sending Ireland into a downward financial spiral such that they need EU grants. I cannot see it.
Its all guesswork mate, but the odds must say it will be worse post Brexit rather than better, though it will assuage the principled objections of some. And as you well know, if it all goes tits up it will be the poor who suffer most. And if post Brexit Britain is brilliant it will be poor who benefit least, if at all. So what’s the programme mate? You get rid of the injustices of the EU, what comes then? Obviously you don’t want the Mogg/Johnson ultra free market capitalism route. So we leave the EU and how does life improve for the downtrodden lumpen proletariat? That’s why I said five to midnight. Who has bigger bollocks, if you’ll pardon the expression, May or the 27? Don’t forget, the EU is used to last minute deal making. They might even be prepared for a really bad no deal to sharpen the focus and see us asking for terms a few weeks later. That’s what they did with the (admittedly much less important) Canada treaty, after the Walloons rejected it.
To be fair G, the odds said we’d never be in this position of leaving anyway so I can’t read too much into them. This is a massive step into the unknown, it could be a terrible decision (as some say) or it could be the best decision ever made.....only time will tell, if of course it’s ever allowed to happen. Of course my principled world after Brexit ain’t gonna happen and yes, the poor and needy could suffer....but they are suffering now under the EU so I’m hoping some will trickle down....as long as the ****s up top let it......I really don’t think it will be any worse for many.
Have I touched a raw nerve? Why so sensitive all of a sudden? I didn't ask you what you knew. I asked you for your opinion. Fine - part of the reason is diesel. Your refusal to acknowledge that No deal Brexit may have a part as well tells me and others here all we need to know. You are not the creator of the No Deal exit. Others far more important than you or I are responsible for that stratagem. It wasn't a dig at you as I do understand much of the concern about the EU, Brexiteers have expressed albeit in exaggerated terms. I simply asked you to express some concern for any possible casualties of a No Deal Brexit. But as usual, you've avoided that. Pity as they voted for it. Would you not prefer to avoid such consequences? Because in spite of the current division between supporters of both sides it is for the vast majority I suggest a simple difference of appreciation of the possible consequences that leads one person to vote Remain and another to Leave.
Yes, the EU wants to make things look as scary as possible to scare the living **** out of the Parliamentary Remain MP's. It's a good strategy for them. We'll see which MP's fold under that pressure.
I just thought since it's your modus operandi to include personal jibes, you'd appreciate some back. I didn't mean to upset you. Of course, I want as few adverse consequences as possible. It has not helped having a prime minister who can't negotiate and a Parliament that cannot reach a consensus. The EU are constantly searching for weaknesses it can exploit. Parliament has to hold its nerve to get the best deal.
