    Corbyn is not a leaver. His stated position before the referendum was Remainer “with reservations”. What’s changed since then is the outcome of the vote, which he, being every inch a democrat, believes has to be respected.

    He won’t ever be an enthusiastic proponent of a 2nd referendum, but he is being brought round to that position by the rest of the Labour Party, by which I mean the grassroots, who he respects more than he does the PLP.

    The whole things a bloody mess. What the heck about the deal are the MPs so worried about? I can’t figure them out.........Perhaps lessons can be learned.........most politicians thought the vote would be to stay. They weren’t prepared for anything else. Two bloody years later they’re still not prepared...........and these are the people we rely on to govern us. God help us if they ever have to make a real decision!!

    Not disagreeing with anything you say, as you seem to cut through all the bullshit and say it how it is, but when pressed on how he had voted Corbyn claimed that he had voted Remain.

    I see we're going for the no tariff approach to protecting our economy. That means without trade deals our government will have lost control over the standards of what we import. massive deregulation. This will allows unscrupulous businesses to profit at the consumers expense and ethical businesses to be competing at a disadvantage.

    Hope those who wanted us to have more control over our country are happy.

    The fault lies fairly and squarely with the Conservatives. They decided on a referéndum and as we have seen that has been disastrous. The Tories thus need to be hammered by the electorate at the next general election. Meantime, Theresa May needs to stand above party politics and for the good of the country, pull the plug on Article 50 if the HoC rejects "no deal."

    Read the article Vin. It says they are pulling those 2 models out of Western Europe again due to struggling sales. Even the BBC in this article state this.

    Which of course makes Brexit have an even bigger effect on Nissan.

    You really need to stop listing negative reasons as if they somehow disprove Brexit as a negative reason rather than making it a bigger one. In buisness the effects are multiplicative.

    The article states why they have made this decision. They are concentrating on the US and China with this car because it isn't selling in Europe.



    "Western Europe remains the most challenging and competitive region for premium cars," Infiniti's chief spokesman, Trevor Hale, said.

    Instead, Nissan plans to promote the Infiniti brand in the US and Chinese markets.

    In the US it plans to focus Infiniti on sports-utility vehicles and in China it plans to launch five new vehicles."


    Pretty plain to see there, the model isn't selling in Europe so they're pulling out entirely.



    "The Infiniti line-up of cars will be electric from 2021 and diesel versions will be discontinued, the company said."


    Nothing to do with diesel or the move into electric, nothing at all. Brexit, that's yer man.

    I said stop using that non sequitar logic. Not repeat it. All of those things increase the affect of Brexit. That's actually what they mean by challenging market. That every effect has a big impact.

    Hell even your joke at the end only highlights the bad logic in trying to rule one bad effect out with another and supports my argument

    You do talk some rubbish. The article tells you they are leaving western Europe, doing away with the diesel model. Simple as that.

    I have a feeling that Jeremy would claim anything to look good (like most politicians) in the hope that he can, somehow, become PM. What a sad, sorry, pathetic bunch we have “leading” us. I’m seriously contemplating moving to a real banana republic, not one which pretends it’s not. As long as I can come back here from time to time and I can get Saints games on tv or streamed I think I could be happy

    Yet another statement that doesn't support your point.

    Not that its relevant to your poor logic but in the same statement by Nissan: "The continued uncertainty around the UK’s future relationship with the EU is not helping companies like ours to plan for the future."


    But of course i know you have trouble understanding business so it all seems like rubbish to you. But I'll give you a hint. International business is anything but simple.
