Britain threatens Germany: You 'will pay a HIGH PRICE' if the UK gets a bad trade deal
Former cabinet minister Owen Paterson and John Longworth, co-chair of “clean Brexit” campaign group Leave Means Leave, will warn a Berlin business leaders that their economy will suffer the consequences if it relies on “cack-handed” Brussels bureaucrats to safeguard Germany’s future.
They will highlight Britain’s position as a top three export market for Germany, adding that a fifth of all cars it produces are sold in the UK, providing jobs for one million Germans.
“It is vital that businesses in key member states such as Germany are listened to carefully during the negotiations.”
He will add: “Already, senior figures in Bavaria have warned that they do not want to see a recession in successful exporting parts of Germany caused by cack-handed negotiations in Brussels.”
Mr Longworth will tell the conference that the “voice of business” must drown out the EU’s “bitter politics” in Brexit negotiations.

Truth over waffle and threats. That's why the majority voted out. |

waffle and threats - aye, like the punishment budget, WW111, global brexit recession, no european army, no end of the world, blah blah blah.
truth certainly did trump project fear |

only one thing to do to get out of europe quickly...
we inform all the european countries that we are now at war with them. then one minute later that we have surrendered. cutting all ties and treaties from europe at a stroke. After the second world war - we made deals again quickly. WAR WAR WAR make it so number one. |

1/5th of all German cars are sold in the UK, providing jobs for 1 million Germans?
Does that mean 5 million Germans make cars and our 20% of their sales will all stop here and the Germans should be very worried? Will it affect the onset of Sharia law? Is the BBC reporting it? Are leftie/luvvies responsible? Or is it......., no, wait... A story from a hack wanting to keep the same old blinkered readers content so it can sell adverts, at the Mail or Express? (Or one or two other equally unscrupulous outlets of nonsense) |

biscuitbrain - its's government policy. were you not listening to TMays speech on tuesday. the people spoke and our democratically elected representatives are now following their wishes. so as it's the policy of the country is not just burtonomics, it's also biscuitbrainomics as well.

any future negotiations ? |

they will either accept protecting their jobs or not.

German business leaders tell you that the British market may be important. But it is only one market, compared to 27 markets in the rest of the EU.
UK population - 65 million Slovenia - 2 million Slovakia - 5 million Malta - 0.5 million Luxembourg - 0.5 million Lithuania - 3 million Latvia - 2 million Ireland - 4.5 million Finland - 5.5 million Estonia - 1 million Cyprus - 1 million Denmark - 6 million Croatia - 4 million Bulgaria - 7 million Austria - 10 million Belgium - 11 million that's 15 countries of the EUSSR, combined population 63 million - less than us and not as wealthy. don't kid yourself for a second that our economy is not a big deal to them and that they need us to protect jobs. |

Anybody that pays more than £2 to see Beyounce is stupid imo Same goes for new cars/furniture/clothes etc. But Maldon Chocolates are worth every penny  |

By:
I was looking that up Wit-ham, evidently Brexit hasn't yet hit the confectionery market, but it probably will as most chocolate comes from Belgium.
Let's keep that too ourselves though, eh? |

which is all the more reason for the EUSSR to make sure they do not face tariffs when entering the UK. |

By:
Germany is a basket case Country in Europe they have never done well in the E.U. due to all those unelected bureaucrats in Brussels making all their laws,
it's about time they woke up and smelled the coffee beans.How many more years will the Germans tolerate of low growth and decimated industry and high unemployment. They should take back control and trade with the rest of the world and leave that Dictatorial E.U. behind. LEAVE THE BUILDING  |

Germany more or less runs the EU, if they can't do well out of it then no one can. You really are a bit naive.

The German manufacturing base is simply streets ahead of ours we are unable to
compete or improve our poor productivity so we just shout from the sideline meaningless insults instead of looking long and hard at ourselves and asking why are we not as good?. |

By:
The UK has been hindered by an over valued pound, there is now a real opportunity for innovation and a domestic upsurge in production.
Did you absorb that Steve Keen podcast BM? he talks in great length about the opportunities that arise once exports become more expensive. The future is bright BM, your doom and gloom will follow you to the grave. Chin up. |

great for exporters when currency slides so long as
they are not importing to make their ezxports but not so good for the non exporters amongst us |

Does that mean 5 million Germans make cars and our 20% of their sales will all stop here and the Germans should be very worried? we export 44-47% to the eu. germany exports 9% to us. hate to break it to you but we are far worse off if its a bad deal.. |

By:
lol your right....
 interesting though. many actually think we will be better off than germany. personally think they will gain some of our business to soften their blow. and we will lose more. also with trump playing his card on trade deals we are likely to get hit that side as well. we export more to the usa than they do to us. think we have made one of the most stupidest decisions a country can make....bar calling all out war lol |
|
By:

The EU is in talks to implement a Brexit VAT ( to pay for the £8bil a year shortfall that they will lose when the UK stops paying in ) for all EU citizens which will then be offset from individual state taxation. Individual states will be worse off as they will collect less tax under this suggestion. You would think that if Germany did benefit from the UK leaving, then they could afford to pay for that shortfall. However it looks likely that the bill will be spread out among states. |
|
By:
......if the EU are having a Brexit TAX seems like a very good idea - spread the pain and unlikely to be noticed that much when you subtract the contributions given to UK - and carry on.
(.....my point being - if it is true then at least they are "planning" as opposed to our aspirational deluded wish-list) |

£80 billion of uk exports to eu @ 10% tariff would cover shortfall....
