Well, well, well, Nissan confirm post Brexit multi billion Sunderland investment as expected. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37787890 The economy grew by more than expected, who would have thought the gloom mongers could be wrong. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37786467
What i find funny is the way the people of Sunderland were ridiculed for voting 63% for Brexit(one of the first votes in), like Turkeys voting for Christmas was one of many slurs on our Mackem friends, how wrong they were !!
Nissan still think we aint leaving the single market....... Celebrate once the plant opens. Growth better than expected, but still down by 0.2% since the vote.... Lots of people having a last splurge before the **** hits the brexit fan, of course growth figures are still reasonable. **** me are all really so economically illiterate?
The thing is with the delaying tactics of the remoaners and general ****ishness of being awkward at every turn the economy would had risen, if the sandal wearing tree huggers continue to be disruptive at every step towards a 'hard brexit'(ooo arr) then Teresa needs to show some bollocks(not hers obviously) and play hardball by putting the price of Lentils up, hit 'em where it hurts!!!
Nissan think we ain't leaving hahaha where do you get em from Glory ? Do you believe your own crap ? or you just joking ?
Petrol/gas/electric all increasing costs. I bought a small loaf from a local bakery today, was £1.05 now £1.15. ASDA prices rising daily. if its not Brexit what is it ?
Brexit is a bandwagon opportunity to raise prices! Ingredients for a loaf are all from the UK in this example. Fuel for delivery is cheaper than it was a year ago, and grain is similarly priced. As no imports, no reason to change prices. Pure opportunism. Btw, I adore Morrisons own brand 'toastie' wholemeal loaf, & it's only 50p. They actually use this loaf for their in-store sandwiches, which tells a story. Don't try the white equivalent, though - it's awful.
I heard these two on Radio Two today... Yesterday they had the Australian Trade Minister on... He said they are ready and willing to do more trade agreements with the UK. He basically said, nobody is permitted to do any (pre exit) agreements until we officially leave because it would be breaking European laws, nothing to do with Australia and they are ready when we are.
When we left the UK in '71, Australian butter (for example) was 2/6 half pound in the UK. In Oz it was 3/6 (35c). Those were the days and they could be again for you. You talk about butter mountains and wine lakes, boys, you ain't seen nothin' yet! We've got lots to share and a good export market in dairy goods is just what this country needs at the moment.
Typical of the shower EU that a poxy little regional Belgium parliament threatened to bring down the trade deal with Canada that was 7 years in the making, you couldn't make it up oh but hang on a minute, you can as this is typical EU. Expect the EU to bypass the regional parliaments in Brexit negotiations as they need to save face after being embarrassed on a world grand scale and try to show they have some credibility.
So now you have read the papers, listened to question time, and watched the news and you know that the government have promised to "shield nissan from the effect of brexit and will compensate their losses" do you still want to cite this as an example of what Brexit brings. This blank future dated cheque will have to be replicated for all the other car makers or the courts are going to be busy. Why should the car industry get special treatment? What next? As i said economic illiteracy. Lets not forget that despite thatcher been a freemarketeer she build and paid for nissans sunderland plant in its entirety and they still pay no rate or poer bills as part of that deal from the 80s.
