So you think these countries are going to turn round and say "we will still sell you the £420billion worth that you spend, but will stop buying the £270 billion that you sell" and we will turn round and say "OK buddy - our loss" ? Do you also realise that the EU only makes up 10% of the world trade demand? What is it you said about head in sand?
The EU doesn't make up 10% of our exports though does it unfortunately? You do realise that when we're all suddenly getting charged import and export duties for goods in and out of the UK, we'll be a much worse proposition for buying goods from don't you? Obviously, the drop in the strength of the pound and the exchange rates will counter that, but strangely enough thats not a good thing for us.
Being the UK's sole distributor for a particular brand has massive advantages on one hand, as if customers want that brand then they have to come to us. However, unfortunately we can'tsell the brand outside the UK, as obviously there are other suppliers with sole distribution rights around Europe and the rest of the world. And i can assure you, for a very small business its very well run.
The EU makes up 40% of our exports - it was 65% in 2002 so has been on the sharp decline in the last 15 years anyway. Last year, exports of goods and services were worth about £229 billion, down from £242 billion in 2010.
Please pray tell, apart from this massive customer Australia (who are going to speak to the EU first about a deal, before us, same as the U.S), where else are we going to export again? Apart from arms to the middle east obviously
So one new brit job will be create for every person that lives in Australia. Stop it my sides are hurting!!"!!
****ng bollocks pressed send without reading.. One job created for every 120 people living in Aus. The point remains the same you are spouting groundless bollix. No fecking way is it possible for Australia to provide enough work for 250,000 over here.
Not forgetting that to get our goods to market there they have to sail past/ fly over all those far eastern countries that manufacture things at a fraction of the cost than we can. Of course the Australians are going to spend more than they need to. There is no place for a Britain trying to turn the clock back to the 1950s in a worldwide economy. Think Farage thought he was in a John mills film where Britain always wins and everyone else just rolls over!
If you want far eastern crap Glory,go the pound shop,lucky for us most prefer quality over quantity.Wonder how we ever sell Bentleys when you can get a Chinese car for about 3% of the price.doh
That will be the same Bentley that are gradually moving production to Poland and Germany? Who own them these days? Do you even recognize the term globalization?
