How are we more creative when we import more from the EU than we export £290bn v £220bn. That surely says they create more than us.

The point is it doesn't matter. Businesses will want their slice of the £350M and this govt will give them it.


Do you have any evidence for these assertions Pineapple or are you simply throwing darts in the dark?

Typical brexiters response of burying their heads in the sand and waiting for triple confirmed evidence rather than using their noggin. Just open your eyes, look at the number of corporations and banks assessing their position. "We might have to move as it will cost us more to operate here. How can you help Ms May?"


But no, let's go with the no running commentary line and hope for the best.

Banks do not create wealth, they are there to make money off the creative and scientific and technical ability of a nation, that's were England is unsurpassed, except perhaps by America.

Quick catch up for lfc:

Mini - German car manufactured in Cowley. Designed by a Europhile yank and his team in Germany

Honda - Japanese manufacturer, Civic and Jazz manufactured in Swindon. Designed in Japan.

Toyota - Japanese manufacturer, Auris and Avensis built in Derbyshire. Designed in Japan.



Not sure what Britain is bringing to the table here apart from assembly to be honest. I suppose we still have Jaguar Land Rover (a subsidiary of the Indian firm Tata) and Vauxhall (part of the American GM) but beyond that you're going pretty niche.

A libtard wants to live in a fantasy world (in which life is the way that they WISH IT WAS) as opposed to dealing with life the way it actually is.

By:

When: 28 Oct 16 15:30
It is extremely accurate

Retard
delay or hold back in terms of progress or development.

It's Brexiters who are moving the country backwards they have a rose coloured spectacles view of Britain thinking they can go it alone

USA are one of the most fooked up countries in the world, their only power is with the bomb, oh and maybe cheap labour which the rich companies adore.

Breeding mad obviously believes the UK should be a member of the eurozone and ruled by an EU high emperor.

He calls that progress.

We are in unchartered territory, so nobody knows how this is going to pan out especially as nobody knows what Brexit will look like, I'm sure crags will bump all of these threads in 5 years time at 3.47 in the morning to lets us know which of us were the smart arses and which were the laughing stocksGrin

so nissan sunderland only sell here or switzerland.

thats not an issue as even if nissan switzerland do sell to the eu its not illegal.

bt once out of the eu those cars get classed as third party...so if the swiss do decide to sell some into the eu a tarrif is imposed...based on the third country countries agreement.

if its a tax dodge then it needs to be looked at now

For the next vote I propose that we should act by this range of results.


Remain vote.......Leave vote
Greater than 55% - Less than 45% then we should go for a "Hard" Remain
54-51%                 46-49% a "Soft" Remain
46-49%                 54-51% a "Soft" Brexit
Less than 45%       Greater than 55% then a "Hard" Brexit





50-50% a coin toss
